Raison d’Etre:  To learn to enjoy the journey, live with appreciation, and since no kiddies yet, to care for my sweet puppy-dog

 Read:  I tend to have a business/communication book on the go, alongside something more right-brained (or no-brained), be it a novel or a magazine
 Listen: Where do I even begin?  My tastes range from classic rock to jazz to electronica, but lately I’ve been listening to Miiko Snow, Royksopp, The Whitest Boy Alive, Kings of Convenience, and one of my all-time favorites remains Neil Young (yes, really)
 View or watch: Jeopardy (so nerdy and so good), Arrested Development reruns, 30 Rock

 Charity: Because I’m a founding member and because it’s such a great cause: The Y Society 
 Dream:  To look back at the end of the journey and feel like I’ve made a difference (being a mega huge rock star would also suffice)
 Accessory:  I love my Rafe bags because they are elegant, versatile, and can take me from the streets of London to the cliffs of Ravello with ease. This clutch holds my wallet and my Kimiko makeup, yet is easy to carry; and oh, the compliments!…thanks for your fabulous designs Rafe, xx

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Silay City, Negros Occidental, Philippines, July 6, 2010 – New York-based accessories designer Rafe Totengco visited the St. Francis of Assisi School for the first time today. As a supporter of the Tapulanga Foundation, Rafe took a special trip to Negros in order to meet the scholars and check out the school. The students entertained Rafe, who came with his sister Tesa, with song and dance numbers. He also shared his inspiring success story with the students. Along with Executive Director MicMic Abello-Golez, they toured the school grounds that included an eco-friendly chapel made entirely of mud. Through the many projects that Rafe has done for the Tapulanga Foundation, a college scholarship fund in his name has been created. The Rafe Totengco College Scholarship Fund has four college scholars today.

Tapulanga Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization that provides educational, healthcare and micro-credit assistance to poor families in Silay City and its neighboring communities. Other programs include: lunch meal program, infant feeding program, public hospital assistance, disaster emergency relief, children’s summer workshops and volunteer vacation program.

Rafe Loves…Elizabeth Kiester

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Raison d’Etre: To explore, to learn, to absorb, to grow, to understand and to practice empathy at all times.

Job: Owner and Creative Director, Wanderlust

Live: Siem Reap, Cambodia

Happiness: Traveling–I will go anywhere!;  Sunny cloudless days; sitting on a beach with a book; my nephew Charlie; the “Investigation Discovery” channel (which can only be indulged in when I come visit the US…); reading the New York times; laughing with my besties.

Brunch: In Cambodia, French pastries (omg! their chocolatines are insane!) at my favorite pattiserie called Boulangerie! In New York, anywhere i can get a cheese-filled omelette and bagel.

Drink: I recently had the lushest drink ever at Schiller’s Liquor Bar on the lower east side in NYC–lemon vodka, fresh squeezed lemonade and fresh strawberries. It was called “country time” and it was incredibly addictive, which clearly could be very, very dangerous. This drink could only be better if served on a beach somewhere in Southeast Asia.

Eat: Hands down…“Shake Shack” in Madison Square Park, NYC. I’m a simple girl and require simple foods. My Mom used to call me a “cheap date” (however, it isn’t so cheap to eat at ‘Shake Shack’ but you get my drift).

Escape: St. John, USVI; the islands in Thailand; Tokyo; India

Read: New Yorker, Vogue (particularly Brit edition), all the gossip rags world over (US weekly, Grazie, Heat…) as long as my posse are on hand to participate in shameful ridicule of the celebs featured in them…

Listen: Sigur Ros, Bon Iver, She & Him, The Sundays, Billie Holiday, Patty Griffin.
Most fave song ever: Brian Jonestown Massacre “Open Heart Surgery”

Watch: I am not a girl who likes “chick flicks”–I am into war movies. Yes, war movies…  ”The Killing Fields”, “The Deer Hunter”, the documentary “War Photographer”.

Indulge: Bagels with mounds of temptee ™ whipped cream cheese and butter (which sadly is not available in cambodia….); Diet Coke (never leave home–or be at home–without it); books in hardcover; beauty products I can’t figure out how to use.

Shop: ‘Journal Standard’ and all it’s subsidiaries in Tokyo. Absolutely amazing, awe inspiring and tear inducing.

Fashion: I love love love Comme des Garcons, Ann Demeulemeester, Yohji, Marni…I love designers who do their thing and don’t involve themselves in “trends”; designers who uphold, protect and maintain their vision.

Aspire: Easy one–Iris Apfel

Charity: All the NGOs that I work with and admire in Cambodia–Saray Osmose, The Green Gekko Orphanage, Angkor Children’s Hospital all in Siem reap, Cambodia.

Dream: To live a fulfilling life–a life of realness, sincerity, integrity and energy.

Accessory: Rafe, the individual is a human sunshine–warm, generous, happy, spirited–and his accessories reflect that–they bring joy and confidence and incredible vibes to the wearer while simultaneously being ridiculously and extraordinarily chic. 360 degrees of gorgeousness is what I say–they make you look good and feel phenomenal. Win!

Dream Weavers

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Can I tell you…about one of my favorite groups in my collection this season.

Read the release below.

RAFE NEW YORK WORKS WITH “DREAM WEAVERS” FOR
HIS INSPIRED SPRING 2010 COLLECTION

New York, NY, October 2009 – Designer Rafe Totengco continues to utilize the artistic talents of the people in his native Philippines. The designer’s latest collaboration features the work of the T’boli, one of the Philippines surviving ethnic tribes occupying an area in the southwest coastal range of the Cotabato Cordillera. This non-Muslim tribe is known for their skills in brass casting and traditional weaving, which creates a fabric called Tinalak.

“I’ve always had an affinity for products that are handcrafted using traditional techniques and I’ve been wanting to use Tinalak in my collection”, says Rafe. He collaborated with Maricris Floirendo-Brias who has been working with the T’boli for several years now developing home furnishings using tinalak.

The fabric is characterized by rhythmically repeated geometric patterns of highly stylized human and animal forms, some of which are said to represent human figures in traditional housing structures. The T’boli weaves this cloth using fibers from the abaca plant, a variety of the banana family. The fibers are extracted from the inner section of the wild banana plant, dried and separated into strands, then joined into long threads needed for weaving.

This is used as thread and binding material for Ikat, a decorative technique whereby threads are resist-tied and dyed into warp Ikat patterns before weaving. The dyes used are extracted from vegetables and other materials.

Karolina beaded flap clutch in orange.

Katherine large tote

Rafe has created a group of Beaded Ikat handbags with the Tinalak fabric in vibrant hues of orange, yellow, pink and blue. The bags come in three styles: a large tote, a flap clutch and a minaudiere. Each style comes in indigo blue, hot pink, orange, yellow and black. The clutch and the minaudiere feature hand beaded ornamentation that complement the colors of the bags.


Kim minaudiere


The Kim minaudiere as feature in Vogue Magazine.

This is not the only group in Rafe’s Spring 2010 collection to boast a connection to the designer’s birthplace. Craftwork, a capsule collection within the line, features crochet work done by 80 women in the Philippines utilizing plastic bags collected during school drives. Both endeavors allow Rafe to help provide work for each group and preserve their distinctive craft.

Raison d’Etre: That one I don’t really know yet, and maybe I never will… but I try to live like there’s no tomorrow, love like I’ve never been hurt and dance like nobody’s watching.

Job: Student, pr girl, party animal

Live: Leuven / Brussels, Belgium

Happiness: Spending time with family and friends.

Brunch: At home with the family, in my pyjamas. With lots of fresh orange juice and an overflow of delicacies.

Drink: La Bodeguita Del Medio in Havana, where Ernest Hemmingway liked to spend most of his time while living in Cuba, is where I enjoyed the best mojito I ever tasted.
Closer to home I like Rodin’s in Leuven on the old market (also called ‘the longest bar of europe’), a trendy bar with great wine, coktails and tapas.
But I must say that Carré, the number one club in Antwerp and place to be in Belgium, is where i go for drinks & dancing most.

Eat: Zaowang at Antwerp, a great restaurant with nice interior and an intimate atmosphere where the sushi is to die for!

Escape: Travelling. I don’t have a favorite hotel or place to go, because I try something new everytime, and I want to see as much from the world as possible. But anywhere there’s sun, sea and a beach it’s pretty easy to escape from everyday life.

Read: Chicklits, literary thrillers, everything people recommend me or I find on the bestsellerlist. I’m also not ashamed to say that I’m a huge Harry Potter fan! I also love to read magazines, Cosmopolitan is my favorite!

Listen: I’m one of the biggest R&B fans I know, but I’m open to all sorts of music. I listen to music everytime I can, the first thing I do when i wake up in the morning is putting on my favorite song of the moment.

Watch: I don’t have a favorite movie, but I watch several ones a week and I enjoy all sorts of genres. I’m also a big fan of good series. How I met your mother, Gossip girl, Sex and the city, Secret diary of a call girl, Heroes,… You name it, I watch it!

Indulge: Going to a spa, or having a beauty treatment, manicure or pedicure. Shopping is also indulging myself, as well as eating some fine Belgian chocolates or enjoying some delicious Italian icecream.

Shop: Zara, H&M, New Look & Bershka, where you can find great clothes for a student proof budget. But I do try to make my outfits look original, by combining these pieces with things like a fabulous Rafe  bag.

Splurge: Trips around the world. These experiences mean more to me than material things.

Aspire: Kim Kardashian is my modern day style icon, but as far as my inner self is concerned, I just try to be myself, whatever that means.

Charity: I help my mother where needed, when she’s planning charity events with her Rotary Club.

Dream: Finding true love, piece of mind and live my life happily ever after.

Accessory: My favorite accessory is my silver snakeskin Rafe bag. I guess it’s not for everybody, but I just love accessories that stand out. It lights up an ordinary daytime outfit completely, and gives an extra spark to my evening wear. To me, it’s glamour pure thang! That’s what I love about Rafe’s designs.

Rafe Designs a Special Shoe for Baileys

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010


BAILEYS TAPPED DESIGNER RAFE TOTENGCO TO DESIGN A SHOE INSPIRED BY THEIR DELICIOUS LIQUEUR
The special edition shoe was sold to benefit Clothes Off Our Back.

Designer Rafe Totengco joined the makers of Baileys® Original Irish Cream to celebrate the two things women find most irresistible about a holiday get-together –amazing party shoes and a delicious drink. The Baileys Holiday Shoe Collection of one-of-a-kind Baileys-inspired designs was sold via online auction to benefit Clothes Off Our Back®. The national non-profit organization auctions clothing, jewelry and other items donated by top celebrities to help support many causes around the world, including the fight against hunger.

To support the cause while indulging in a love of fashion, shoe aficionados and their friends ages 21 and older can visit www.clothesoffourback.org to view and bid on one-of-a-kind Baileys-inspired women’s shoes. Rafe joins some of the best designers in the business: Alejandro Ingelmo, Farylrobin, Shree Moni and Vanessa Noel. The auction ran from November 11th to December 2nd, and bidding started at $75, with all money raised going to charity.
Each designer created one pair of shoes inspired by Baileys Original Irish Cream — which means rich, irresistible shoes. “I was inspired by the Baileys Irish Creme Caramel. My strappy high heel platform is crafted in creme patent leather, which emulates the movement of the liquid flowing over ice”, said Rafe Totengco.

“We’re really excited to combine two irresistible temptations — Baileys and shoes — in a way that benefits a great cause during the holidays,” said Dana Yerid, brand director for Baileys. “Whether you’re enjoying it with friends at a holiday party or a small gathering at home, Baileys adds ‘yum’ and delight to the season’s festivities. Slip on a fabulous pair of designer shoes with your favorite party dress, pour a glass of Baileys and you have everything you need for perfectly delicious holiday get-togethers.”
