As the world continues to move forward from what COVID-19 halted us into. It is unforeseeable how badly this pandemic hit us, the world shifted around the way of work, lifestyle, and habits. Most of the days were filled with online meetings, work-from-home, staying at home, and social distancing became the new normal. Noting also other natural calamities that surprised us last 2020, from Taal’s eruption to typhoons that hit the country last Q3. Businesses also strive in order to continue and remain profitable. Bag brands were among the businesses that suffered a decline for its demand.Even though bag brands are considered as non-essential commodities, we can’t also deny that this pandemic made us focus on other needs such as self-care as part of one’s well-being.
