COLLECTIONS
Elements Collection
Inspired by the five elements Water, Air, Earth, Fire, and Love, this collection comes in five colors that capture their essence, and two finishes based on their material.
The sleek, hexagonal pieces are covered in satin, in Adriatic blue, opal, beige, magenta, and melon, while the rectangular ones are made out of buntal. The latter also feature an ombre design where three shades seamlessly blend into each another, a visual effect that was challenging to create. But as Gustoko founder Paula remarks with pride, the brand’s talented artisans achieved the desired look with their dedication and attention to detail.
The Elements collection also reflects Gustoko’s continuing commitment to sustainability; it features natural materials that honor the environment, and turn them into pieces that last.
View collectionThe Rattan Collection
In this collection, the understated rattan takes the spotlight. Closures feature accents made out of the staple fiber in the Philippines, which Gustoko also loves working with.
For founder Paula, incorporating rattan in the designs holds a personal significance:
"It reminds me of my childhood, sitting and relaxing in my grandfather’s rocking chair."
Used as a final touch on otherwise sleek-looking bag designs, the rattan detail lends the pieces a subtle yet elegant appeal.
View collectionTokyo
The Tokyo Collecton was inspired by Gustoko founder Paula’s memorable trip to Japan, a country known for its marvelous natural scenery, and people who cherish simplicity, balance, and serenity.
Each bag from this collection reflects these sensibilities: they depict elements of nature, while coming to an aesthetic of minimalism, delicate beauty, and quiet elegance.
“Their deep connection to nature and ability to live in harmony with it served as a profound inspira?on for this collection,” says Paula.
Maldives
Inspired by Gustoko founder Paula’s trip, the Maldives collec?on revels in the tropical country’s vibrant hues and stunning marine life.
Long walks by the beach in the late aJernoons, watching the colors shiJ with the se`ng sun, and discovering seashells scaPered in the sand served as the founda?on for the bags’ designs.
The Cara comes with an elegant finish and clean lines, while the Concha and Praia are great for a more casual day or night.
Wonder Room Collection
A celebration of art and curiosity, the Gustoko Wonder Room Collection is a playful exploration of colors, shapes, embroidery, and style. Founder Paula describes it as a cabinet of curiosities; each piece represents something new, intriguing, and out of the ordinary.
The Wonder Room pieces reflect this sense of daring and adventure in creating: animal patterns, everyday objects, and new finishes became sources of inspiration. Metallic leather was used in some of the designs, as well as unique color combinations and weave patterns.
This collection hints at a new direction for Gustoko, one that unabashedly draws attention to one’s accessories, and takes delight in edge and style. It contrasts with the brand’s typically understated appeal, offering an option to women who want to be seen.
