Buankissed

Buankissed, meaning “”moonkissed,”” epitomizes a diasporic jewelry and accessory line by interdisciplinary artist Blessyl Buan. Elevating up-cycled Philippine weaves, vintage beads and centring the Capiz shell as a full moon, Blessyl seamlessly bridges cultures, honouring her ancestral heritage and Toronto’s diverse community. Each piece speaks a unique language, harmonizing two distinct worlds. Buankissed deeply commits to preserving Philippine culture, with a portion of sales supporting Philippine Weavers. Beyond adornment, Buankissed sparks meaningful conversations, reflecting a rebellious spirit that honours identity. Wearing Buankissed initiates a ripple of change, echoing across oceans—a narrative eager to be shared, weaving tales of culture, diversity, and individuality. @buankissed www.buankissed.com
