San Mig Light partners with PURVEYR
IN CELEBRATION of its 20th anniversary in the Philippine market, San Mig Light partnered with local brand PURVEYR to produce a retail collection that features 20 different designs by Filipino artists and designers as part of a social creative campaign called 20 Light Years. The collection includes five types of merchandise — T-shirts, tote bags, scarves, beer mugs, and coasters — with designs inspired by four social topics that deserve a spotlight right now, namely Gender Equality, Arts and Creativity, Community Development, and Mental Health. Each social topic has a merchandise set of five different designs as each artist was assigned to one social topic and one type of merchandise, completing the 20-piece collection. The collections and the participating artists are: Gender Equality — Kita (T-shirt), TRNZ (tote bag), Gianne Encarnacion (scarf), BLIC (beer mug), Kris Abrigo (coaster); Community Development — Hey, Mady! (T-shirt), Jai Hernandez (tote bag), Anina Rubio (scarf), Sleek Shy (beer mug), Distort Monsters (coaster); Mental Health — Donsuki (T-shirt), Issabarte.art (tote bag), Ev.yu (scarf), Raise Hell (beer mug), Jill Arteche (coaster); and, Arts and Creativity — Chad Manzo (T-shirt), Bastinuod (tote bag), Strap (scarf), Tropical Futures Institute (beer mug), Revere (coaster). Launched on Nov. 14, the collections are available in PURVEYR Post Poblacion, online through PURVEYR.com, and in all the “20 Light Years: Usapan” panel talks that San Mig Light and PURVEYR will be hosting until the end of January. T-shirts cost P600, tote bags are P500, beer mugs are P400, coasters (a four-piece set) are P400, and scarves are P300.
