March 8th is this Wednesday. Each year, on March 8th, the world (well, a big part of it) celebrates International Women’s Day, as a token of respect and admiration towards all the women out there that have fought for gender equality. Maybe it doesn’t seem such a big deal, but if you do a bit of a research, you’ll come to realise that all the rights we consider normal nowadays, haven’t always been there. We should be grateful to these...

Joséphine in Paris
The first time I exhibited at an international accessories trade show was in March 2016 – it was during Fashion Week in Paris, all the big brands from the fashion industry were presenting their fall-winter 2016 collections, and the new Joséphine collection was about to be shyly presented at the Premiere Classe trade show.

Filipine – Travel journal – vol 2
