Marane A. Plaza
Singapore-founded Beyond The Vines (BTV), is celebrating 10 years of good design with the launch of the Confetti Dumpling Bag, and the reopening of its refreshed store at Shangri-La Plaza in Manila, Philippines.
The Singapore-based multidisciplinary design studio is known for its playful yet functional approach to everyday design.
The special edition Confetti Dumpling Bag is 10 years worth of celebration in one bag, like a party on the go,” Rebecca Ting, co-founder and creative director of BTV told STYLISH in an interview. “It has little bits of confetti built into the bag.”
Rebecca shared that the pieces of confetti were from 10 years worth of posters of the brand reused for the design, promoting sustainability and eco-friendliness.
The event was a celebration of the brand’s evolution, creativity, and the vibrant community that has supported its journey in the Philippines since Beyond The Vines first entered the market in 2019, and since the brand’s founding in Singapore in 2015.
An Ode to 10 Years of Beyond The Vines
Since its debut in 2019, the Dumpling Bag has become a hallmark of Beyond The Vines — loved for its distinctive silhouette, functional details, and lightweight, packable design. Over the years, it has evolved through new sizes, materials, and colourways, each iteration reaffirming its place as an iconic Beyond The Vines piece and a reflection of the brand’s philosophy: to make good design accessible to all.
The Confetti Dumpling Bag is a limited-edition reimagination of this beloved silhouette, crafted as a reflection of the brand’s ten-year journey. Each bag features a layer of soft mesh over durable nylon, revealing a colourful mix of confetti made from curated colours, materials, and fragments of archival Beyond The Vines posters spanning its past decade, making every piece truly one of a kind.
Finished with thoughtful details — a coloured chrome D-ring, magnetic closure, and inner pocket — the Confetti Dumpling Bag comes in three colours: Ivory, Periwinkle, and Black, and is available in one size (XS) at ?5,490. Each bag is packaged in a special box featuring the confetti artwork, designed exclusively for this anniversary collection.
Completing the collection is the Petal Pocket Mirror, a small accessory that can be hung on the Dumpling Bag, a playful finishing touch to this celebratory release.
The Confetti Dumpling Bag will be available globally from 31 October 2025, 12PM (GMT+8), online and in selected Beyond The Vines stores, including the refreshed Shangri-La Plaza, Manila.
A Renewed Home at Shangri-La Plaza, Manila
First opened in 2019, Beyond The Vines Shangri-La Plaza Manila has been one of the brand’s earliest international outposts, steadily building a loyal community over the years. Its long-awaited refresh marks a new chapter, one that embodies how far the brand has come, while staying true to the playful, design-led spirit that first drew the community in.
Spanning 1,092 square feet, the refreshed store presents a contemporary environment that brings the brand’s design ethos to life through bold contrasts, modular functionality, and refined industrial materials. Every element is designed with intention, inviting discovery through thoughtful spatial storytelling.
The space introduces the brand’s modular wall system — an adaptable structure using aluminium profiles and polycarbonate shelves that allows for interchangeable product displays across seasons. The curved stainless-steel POS counter adds a sleek focal point, complemented by orange accents that contrast beautifully against the brand’s signature Engineer Blue tones.
The fitting rooms, enclosed in warm-stained plywood and deep red tiles, add a touch of warmth and texture to the store, while the blue-tinted mirrored storefront and front-lit signage invite passersby into the vibrant world of Beyond The Vines.
More than a refreshed retail space, the reopening of Beyond The Vines Shangri-La Plaza represents a homecoming — a celebration of the brand’s growing community in the Philippines and a reflection of its evolution as it enters its 10th year.
The Beyond The Vines Shangri-La Plaza Manila is now open.
