What is “Cling”?
Cling (verb) ; (of a person or animal) hold on tightly to.
synonyms: hold on to, clutch, grip, grasp, clasp, attach oneself to, hang on

The action - “cling(ing) to nature” is the act of grasping to the more conscious
use of available sustainable materials like brass - used as hardware and
accessories in the collection, the design inspired by nature - the endangered species,
flora and fauna of the Philippines and creating bags maximising the use of
locally available native materials - which are gifts of nature to us.

With the humble intentions of Clarisse The Label to create a lifestyle of leisure
and mindful choices, the collection also hopes to raise part of the profit as funds ,
for the real representations of nature - the endangered species that need attendion
and rehabilitation.

The collection would also like to celebrate local craftsmanship and

partner communities that make our designs and our brand, larger than life- a
fashion celebration that includes everyone, most especially YOU.
 01
Araw Bag
(Sun and
Pineapple;
Araw at Pinya)
Inspired by the rays of the sun and golden
pineapples, a polished brass crown translates
the sun as a golden accent of the piece.
The piece also showcases the local “Banig”
weave to recreate pineapple
diamond-shaped details.

A lower compartment of the backpack can be

your shoe’s next home for your travels, made
from locally made abaca weave exclusively
designed by our partner weavers in the Bicol
region of the country- a piece to store your
beach essentials and maybe your school
books as well.
 Inspired by the Red Vented Cockatoo of the Philippines, the
bag creates an abstract take on the colors and features of the
animal to create an interesting mix of brass plates, buttons,

02
hardware and custom yellow “banig” fabric as accents.
The red tassle made from abaca jute takes centerstage as a flap
to finish the look.

A chain handle - enabling you to wear it as a shoulder or a

crossbody bag--- makes it a to-go stash bag
spacious enough for everything you need.

a tri-circular detail that dangles, dances
with the contrasting blue colored-tassle
