Pusô Convertible Tote Bag opens a world of heritage and romance. This versatile bag effortlessly transforms into a handbag, drawstring bag, or shoulder bag with that O-ring detail, adapting to your creative style and needs with ease.

Adorned with intricate hand-embroidered Sampaguita or Gumamela florals, this piece tells a story steeped in Philippine history. The Sampaguita, the Philippines’ national flower, derives its name from “sumpa kita,” meaning “I promise you.” The Gumamela, known for its vibrant beauty, also holds deep roots in Filipino traditional medicine. Its flowers, leaves, and roots have been used as remedies for ailments such as cough, fever, and inflammation, a testament to its versatility and importance in indigenous healing. 

This enchanting flower blooms at night, only to wilt with the rising sun, making it a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life and love. By wearing the Sampaguita or Gumamela Hobo, you carry with you not just a stylish accessory but also the rich tapestry of your identity.

Celebrate your heritage and let this bag remind you of the beauty of knowing your history and the love that shapes who you are.
