Dark purple raw cowhide tote bag lined with heavy canvas from Prince Padilla's latest collection "Novel", as shown on the MEGA Young Designers Competition Runway Finale.

Prince Padilla’s collection heralds the next level of womenswear in the Philippines. His tactile body of work emphasizes materiality and construction, especially with silhouettes, textures, and movement. He shows a youthful, fresh take on alternative garments, experimentation with his capabilities, and ingenuity in the pieces he creates out of his exploration of techniques and materials.
