Baguio Adventures 2025: Culture Meets Casual: My Museo Kordilyera x H&M Baguio x Uniqlo Curated Fashion Finds
Baguio is very special to me, not just because it's my healing place, but because it's where I find treasures that I don't find in Manila. During a quick visit to Museo Kordilyera, I didn’t expect to come home with a handful of fashion finds—but here we are.
This nondescript kraft envelope holds my fashion haul from Museo Kordilyera. I like how they thought of using a recyclable and multi-purpose mundane thing to package your museum purchases.
This haul combines local craftsmanship with a bit of high-street flair. Think: Cordillera culture meets everyday wear, with a touch of “I’ll probably style this later into a full OOTD post” thrown in. 😉
🪡 Museo Kordilyera Finds
1. Printed shirt
A loose-fit shirt printed with traditional Cordillera motifs. It’s the kind of piece that feels like both a souvenir and a future favorite—light, breathable, and wearable even on Manila days. It’s rare to find something this cultural and this comfortable.
2. Brass Lingling-O Earrings
These were my absolute favorite. They're bold, beautiful, and rooted in tradition. The Lingling-O is a status symbol worn by highland women. It’s a statement piece with soul—and I love that I now have one in my collection. I also bought one for mom.
4. Other Earrings
These are contemporary handcrafted earrings that feature handwoven Cordillera textiles. I love the colors and the bold designs. I can see myself wearing these with just a plain V-neck shirt and jeggings. It instantly elevates my errands outfit.
3. Barrettes
Simple yet striking. They pair well with most of my wardrobe pieces and will definitely shine in a future half-up hairstyle post. I also got a pair for my sister. These are handcrafted hair clips that also feature handwoven Cordillera textiles.
🛍️ H&M Baguio Picks
1. Pleated Denim Skirt
You know me—I can’t resist anything that adds movement to an outfit. And I love skirts, period. I saw this on the rack and immediately got it.
I'm petite, but I really love long skirts.
✨ Why This Haul Matters
For me, shopping isn’t just about trends. It’s about pieces that spark ideas, inspire future stories, and connect me to something deeper—whether it’s culture, a memory, or just a really good outfit.
I didn’t plan to shop at Museo Kordilyera. But walking through those halls, surrounded by stories and craftsmanship, I couldn’t help but want to take a small part of it home. And that’s exactly what this haul is—a quiet little celebration of heritage and style. This is my way of supporting local artisans and the women of Cordillera. I'm shamelessly promoting them in my blog because this is my heritage, and I refuse to let it die. So, if you visit the museum, be sure to stop by the Museum Shop and take home a piece of culture.
We also dropped by Uniqlo and found Super Mario shirts! We love the Super Mario Universe, especially Yoshi. We're so lucky we got the last shirts in my son's size!
📌 Coming Soon
I’ll be styling these pieces for an upcoming post! You’ll get to see how I mix museum finds with modern staples for everyday wear—because culture shouldn’t be kept in a display case. It should be worn, lived in, and loved. ❤️
P.S.
I ran out of skirt hangers. Good thing we dropped by Daiso yesterday and I got this set for only Php98 (approx $1.73). Check out my back-to-school Daiso finds here. It's a 3-part series, so if you're a Daiso junkie, stay tuned for parts 2 and 3!
