Sampaguita & Gumamela Puso Convertible Tote Bag

Open a world of heritage and romance with the Pusô Convertible Tote Bag, a versatile piece that transforms from a handbag to a drawstring or shoulder bag with ease. Its clever O-ring detail adapts beautifully to your creative rhythm and everyday needs.

Each piece is lovingly hand-embroidered with either the Sampaguita or Gumamela, two flowers deeply rooted in Filipino identity. The Sampaguita—our national flower—comes from the phrase “sumpa kita,” meaning “I promise you,” symbolizing purity and devotion. The Gumamela, celebrated for its vibrant bloom, carries stories of traditional healing, strength, and resilience passed down through generations.

Every stitch tells a story of love, heritage, and the fleeting beauty of life—just as the Sampaguita blooms by night and fades with the dawn.
