Wrapping up the June in store events at TCNY was the jewelry pop up of Eccentric Limited, a line of carabao (water buffalo) horn jewelry designed and handmade in the Philippines. Read more about the one-of-a-kind pieces here.

On June 27th, friends and guests came together for a Filipino themed party at this meet and greet shopping event with jewelry designer, Juliana “Chickie” Santos- Garrett. With her unique hand crafted pieces taking center stage, Chickie entertained the guests and spoke briefly about her designs and design process.

While shopping and admiring the pieces, shoppers were treated with Filipino flavored tapas from the upcoming LES restaurant, Tsimis NYC, by Chef Jappy Afzelius. Calamansi flavored mimosas were the drink of choice and OPM (original pinoy music) music serenaded the mostly pinoy crowd.
