Last week, designer Dita Sandico Ong launched her new tea line called Tea. Inspired by famous historical women – Marie Antoinette, Frida Kahlo, Grace Kelly, Eva Peron and Audrey Hepburn – these blends of real tea leaves from the most aromatic flowers, Jasmine, Rose, Michelia Champaca, Lavender and Chrysanthemum, are now readily available to the young and old souls of Manila. You can read more about it here 🙂
An intimate tea party and a fashion show was held to celebrate Tea and I was lucky enough to take part in the festivities. Who knew that tea and fashion went well together? The answer: everyone, silly. 😉 Here are some pictures from that afternoon:

I really like the packaging and the descriptive cards. Super easy on the eyes 🙂
Marie Antoinette: the Invigorating blend
Eva Peron: the Rejuvenating blend
Audrey Hepburn: the Elating blend
Grace Kelly: the Soothing blend
Frida Kahlo: the Exhilarating blend
also got the chance to browse DSO’s wrap collection. love the rich colors she used!
it’s this shade of green that made green my favorite color some time back. sooo pretty!
a lemon yellow clutch that’s perfect for summer!
speaking of spring/summer 2012, you can expect a lot of these 2 colors from DSO’s collection 🙂
and the best part is that she uses local materials in her designs. 🙂
