Canvas Bag in a Box from Papemelroti


The Pinoys behind the business: Bienvenido and Socorro Alviola Alejandro


When it comes to locally made gifts, stationery, and home decor, one of the first shops that Pinoys would think of is Papemelroti. This novelty store was established in 1967 by married couple Bienvenido and Socorro Alviola Alejandro, who first named it “Korben” as a combination of their names. 

To this day, the business is well-loved by shoppers who are on the lookout for cute and useful trinkets, like this Canvas Bag in a Box which contains an embroidered tote with different Filipino-themed designs like the Philippine map and jeepney.
