Have you ever ridden a jeepney? Picture a brightly colored vehicle, adorned with bold, artistic designs that showcase Filipino creativity. Packed with passengers, it's a lively scene of friendly faces. Inside, people sit on wooden benches, passing their fare forward with a simple "paabot ng pamasahe" and calling "para po" when they need to stop.

These everyday traditions have been part of jeepney culture since it was repurposed from a wartime vehicle into the heart of Philippine public transport.

Now, you can carry that jeepney spirit with you through the Manila Jeepney 3-in-1 Bag, handcrafted with love by Filipino artisans. With designs reminiscent of the iconic jeepney, this bag celebrates the craftsmanship and quality that represent the everyday life of the masang Pilipino.

One Bag, Three Ways to Wear It:

With its detachable paracord handle and adjustable genuine leather straps, wear the Jeepney Bag as a handbag, shoulder bag, or a comfortable cross-body! It also comes with a built-in wallet to keep all your cards and cash organized without any extra bulk.
