MEET THE TEAM!

Good news, dear readers! Vatel Manila is now moving closer to launching {etc} Handmade Goodness, our DIY arm, and what better way to do this than by revealing the creatives behind the brand!

When {etc} was established this 2011, it was envisioned to bring to Manila the unique American experience of having items handmade and customized for every wedding. Armed with the experience of having their way at their own weddings (uhm, well, not in everything!) and having handcrafted a lot of the items themselves, 5 former brides (4 got wed in 2010, 1 in 2009) came together to form {etc} Handmade Goodness. They come from different backgrounds: the medical field, two are in IT, in real estate, and the only lawyer is currently a Mom, too!. How awesome is that? :-)

Soon, as the demand expands, {etc} will open to Sellers - talented brides (& grooms!) who are also into craft & DIYs who might want to sell their creations to future couples. We'll also eventually open our {etc} HOME line starting with pretty throw pillows and hand-carved items. Indeed, nothing makes a wedding (or a home) truly special than by having certain items handmade and customized. :-)

Here's looking forward to working with you all soon!

- Dylan, Aecy, LA, Grace, Mishi, & Cel <3
