Exquisitely handcrafted minaudieres, clutches, and handbags. Inspired by art, architecture, flowers and different cultures. A Rafe creation is an objet d’art in its own right -- a collectible, fine in detail and masterful in workmanship. Born in the Philippines and based in New York, Totengco easily weaves multi-cultural references into his body of work, which has evolved over an illustrious career from designing handbags and minaudieres.
