Ferragamo introduces the Hug Bag East-West

Ferragamo has introduced the Hug Bag East-West for Pre-Fall 2026, presenting an elongated version of the brand’s recognizable Hug Bag silhouette. Designed with horizontal proportions, the new shape updates the Hug Collection with a sleeker and more linear profile while retaining the balanced structure associated with the line.

The Hug East-West is made from calf leather with a subtle grain texture, giving the bag a delicate hand feel. Its construction includes two straps that extend from the sides to the front, where they are secured by Ferragamo’s signature oblique Gancini closures. The release adds to a wider set of seasonal fashion and lifestyle arrivals reaching Philippine shoppers through local boutiques, department-store beauty counters, brand stores, and online channels.

In the Philippines, Ferragamo is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. The brand has boutiques at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Alabang Town Center, Greenbelt 4, The Mall at NUSTAR, Rustan’s Makati, and Rustan’s Shangri-La.

Givenchy Beauty launches serum primers and Glow Duo

Givenchy Beauty is expanding its complexion and color offerings with the Prisme Libre Skin & Color Serum Primer, a hybrid formula that combines instant color correction with skincare benefits. The launch builds on the brand’s chromatic expertise, which began in 1989 with Le Prisme, Givenchy’s first four-color powder.

The new Prisme Libre Skin & Color Serum Primers are designed to visibly enhance and balance the skin while providing subtle color correction. The lightweight, serum-infused formula is described as instantly correcting, smoothing, and blurring pores while delivering 24-hour hydration and all-day plumpness. It is also formulated to refine the appearance of pores, neutralize redness, and boost natural radiance while preparing the skin for makeup.

Each shade targets a specific complexion concern. Purple is intended to help refine the appearance of pores for a smoother-looking finish, green is designed to neutralize visible redness for a more even skin tone, and pink is meant to enhance radiance for a luminous glow. The primers may be worn on their own or underneath foundation.

Givenchy Beauty has also introduced the new Glow Duo, composed of the Prisme Libre Highlighter Powder and Perfecto Serum Lip Oil. The marbled highlighter powders combine two shades in each compact to create a multidimensional, pearlescent glow. The product has a light, velvety texture that melts into the skin and is designed for a long-lasting, all-day glow.

Perfecto Serum Lip Oil combines rose oil and squalane in a formula intended to hydrate and protect the lips while offering intense gloss, plumping care, and buildable shine. Together, the primer, highlighter, and lip oil emphasize multi-use complexion and color products that can be worn alone or layered into a fuller makeup routine.

The collection is now available at Givenchy Beauty stores in Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza and Rustan’s Makati. The Prisme Libre Skin & Color Serum Primers, in 30-ml sizes, retail for P4,550 and are available in pink, purple, and green. The Prisme Libre Highlighter Powder is priced at P4,350 and comes in Lilac Pink, Rosy Gold, Pearly Gold, and Coral Copper. The Perfecto Serum Lip Oil retails for P2,850 and is available in Rose Quartz, Iridescent Peach, Crystal Cherry, and Vinyl Berry.

Nike brings back the Moon Shoe

Nike has brought back the Moon Shoe, reviving a silhouette rooted in the company’s early running history. Before Nike was called Nike, Bill Bowerman created the company’s first running shoe using his wife’s waffle iron, a design origin that became associated with the Moon Shoe.

Following its runway revival with Nike collaborator and French designer Jacquemus, the shoe has been reimagined for a new generation. The updated sneaker combines performance heritage with a fashion-forward profile, positioning the archival running design for consumers who follow both sneaker history and contemporary style collaborations.

The Nike Moon Shoe collection is available at www.nike.com/ph, Green Tee – Nike Park at UP Town Center; Green Tee at SM North EDSA; Nike Park at ACEBU, ATC, Ermita, Festival, Gateway, Glorietta, SM Mall of Asia, The Fort, and North Triangle; Nike Robinsons Magnolia, SM Bacolod, and SM Cebu; and Park at Podium and SM Iloilo. The Nike Moon Shoe retails for P5,795.

Casio Philippines expands August lineup

Casio Philippines is expanding its local lineup in August with two releases: the G-Shock Bold Camo Series and the Casio x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch.

Launching on Aug. 1, the G-Shock Bold Camo Series reimagines the DW-6900, GA-700, and GA-V01 models with matte camouflage finishes and gold dial accents. The collection features an exclusive camouflage pattern that subtly conceals G-Shock’s signature “G” mark, giving each watch a streetwear-inspired identity while retaining the brand’s emphasis on toughness and reliability.

Designed for daily wear, the Bold Camo Series includes six models priced from P7,770 to P18,480. To mark the launch, customers who purchase any watch from the G-Shock Bold Camo Series will receive a limited-edition pouch bag while supplies last.

The Casio x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch, priced at P13,310, is the second collaboration between Casio and singer J Balvin. The piece reinterprets Casio’s iconic digital watch as a wearable finger ring, combining fashion-led design with everyday functions.

The limited-edition ring watch is finished in a textured gold-tone brick pattern with rhinestone accents. It retains signature Casio features, including dual time, stopwatch, auto calendar, and LED backlight. Its format also underscores Casio’s continued use of its digital-watch heritage across nontraditional accessories, alongside the more familiar G-Shock releases.

While the G-Shock Bold Camo Series will launch on Aug. 1, the Casio x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch is scheduled to arrive later in August. Both collections will be available through authorized Casio retailers nationwide, G-Shock stores, and Casio online.
