Lifestyle: Nanay Fashionista

Nanay Fashionistas

by: Princess Mahipos

Ate Susamarie, a loving servant of God and enthusiastic Nanay of Payatas who participated the project of Rags2Riches.

Rags2Riches Inc. is a social business enterprise creating high-end designer fashion masterpieces and home accessories that are ethical and eco-friendly. Rags2Riches empowers women of poor communities, and recycles scrap clothes discarded by garments factories around the Philippines.

Ate Susamarie and other Nanay living in Payatas makes a worldclass products like bag clutches, carry all, shoulder and Tote bags. They have different collections that are really beautiful and appealing to people eyes.

Ate Susamarie is a simple Nanay plowing garbages near their house but because of her involvement in Rags2Riches she makes bags not just for her but also for the community without expecting any return. It is really a pure manifestation why she is so dedicated in her work.

She also selflessly offered her time not just making rugs but also being a Nazareno coordinator and leader in their community where most Nanays are reluctant to join the group at its early phase. Some hesitated and some doubted but some keep their faith to her because she knows that God will answer their prayers.

Currently, Ate Susamarie Estabillo is successful in making the beautiful products of Rags2Riches which is already famous not just in Philippines but also outside the country.
