fledgemydear:

A few weeks back, I received an e-mail from one of the prime local online shops we have here in the Philippines. Surprised and astounded, I read the e-mail once again. It was a request for a shop feature, and I consider the first ever, from Charm Bin. Without thinking twice, I hit the reply button, wrote a big YES!, sent the reply, and everything started right there and then.

The feeling of being blessed to have the chance to go forth and feature a shop despite the fact that you’re still a fledgling blogger, that is breathtaking, and I wouldn’t want to waste much time, let me start this.

Founded by best of friends, Kit ( Kit Singson) and Jo (Joanna Malinis), Charm Bin is an online shop that started off as an outlet for smart ideas. “We started making bronze and silver rings, necklaces, and bracelets with pretty random objects found all over our homes. We posted pictures of these online using our personal accounts, and started selling to our friends and classmates.”, says Charm Bin.

It was such a wise conviction that started it all. Knowing that they have enough capital to start a business, they both decided to take it seriously. “We actually made a mission-vision and objectives document the day after. Haha.”, they confessed. With hopes high, Kit and Jo introduced Charm Bin, and from that moment on up until now, they believe it was the best decision they both have made.

Wide varieties of handmade accessories (from rings, necklaces, bracelets), and handpicked ones are the products that Charm Bin offers. The most recent add-on to their assets are clothes for the confident and feminine girls. When a collection is publicized, just give it a day or two and the next thing you’ll notice, items are already sold-out. I, for one, wouldn’t be surprised if the accessories I am eyeing from this shop for quite some time will be sold the following day.

“So what inspires Charm Bin to push through?”, I asked them.

“The fact that we have loyal customers we enjoy serving..”, their answer. I know for a fact that my question has been answered with so much honesty. “We also love picking out clothes with specific people (buyers) in mind. We’d say, “Oh, this top is so ________!”. We also enjoy marketing and interacting with people. Putting our design and fashion (photog/makeup artistry) skills to good use is also another inspiration. Photoshoots are our weakness. We just absolutely LOVE to shoot.”, comes right after.

These girls, they will tell you things that are nothing but accurate and precised. Their hearts speak for them, it tells them how to build up a shop which will be truly loved by everyone.

Charm Bin was made not to defeat other shops you see in the world wide web, nor it aims to let you lose hope. It was made to inspire everyone, especially those who have businesses of their own (including me!). It exists because the owners, as mentioned, Kit and Jo, are loving what they are doing and that’s one thing every girl should always do, above everything else. They want you to be on your best, on your most beautiful moment, always.
