SOLO X Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia Series: Pugad Baboy

I'm a huge Pugad Baboy fan. I remember asking for Pugad Baboy books as gifts (db uso exchange gift dati?) during Christmas. Haha. I love the humor, characters, uniqueness of this work of art by THE Pol Medina. A funny, tongue-in-cheek and sometimes controversial comic strip depicting the general sentiment of Filipinos on relevant topics.

That's why I'm so happy with Solo's new collaboration! Solo’s back with another exciting collection for its 5^th year of Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia! This time, we are joined by the talented cartoonist Pol Medina Jr. as we continue to pay homage to Solo’s comic based collection!

If you’re already an avid reader, congratulations! You got yourself a treat! But if you’re just starting to get familiar with it, it does not matter! The Pugad Baboy’s collection is eye-catching and fun, definitely something that everyone can enjoy!

Think comical, artistic and subtly patriotic! The colorful collection is composed of collared tees decked in all over Polgas prints, one of the cartoon strip's prominent characters.

Solo also offers urban-classic dresses, tops in vibrant color combinations, quirky and sleek sporty graphic tees, eccentric comic strip scenes, and statement shirts inspired by the witty comebacks of Mr. Pol Medina Jr! Lots of gift items too like bags and accessories! Keep exchanges going with these conversation pieces and gift items. 

Gracing the campaign are the Solo Online Model Search 2013 winners Renee Soraya Hassani and John Edward Custodio who stood out among almost a hundred hopeful ladies and gents! The pair got to do a photo shoot with hot fashion photographer Doc Marlon.

In line with the collection launch, SOLO will be having a book signing tour with Pol Medina himself on the following dates and branches:

September 13 - The Row, Glorietta 1 at 12:30-2:30pm

September 20 - Solo, Festival Mall at 12:30-2:30pm

September 27 - Solo, Trinoma at 12:30-2:30pm

SOLO x Tony Velasquez's KENKOY!

Another AMAZING collection is coming  at your favorite SOLO stores. You know I'm such a huge fan of Solo and Freeway because of their extraordinary collections that promote patriotism and immortalizes great Philippine artists and icons who've done so much for our country through their art & crafts. 

You all loved their Larry Alcala collection, now they're bringing you another one that will truly touch your hearts and make you take a trip down to memory lane. :)  Due to insistent demand, SOLO brings out another innovation, its 2^nd installment of the well-loved Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia series. This time it features no less than the greatest work of the Father of Philippine Cartoons, Tony Velasquez’s KENKOY. 

KENKOY, the Philippines’ first pop icon, was always in suspenders, charol shoes, double breasted suit, baggy pants, a sailor hat, and a slicked back hairstyle. This comic strip is considered one of the most influential in the Philippines and most successful.  

The limited special edition collection will consist of His&Hers graphic tees, polo shirts, woven tops and dresses, men’s long sleeves, shorts and accessories such as stainless necklaces and slingbags, gift sets like watches, vanity sets and lighters.
