Thank you, Sir

I feel sad of the passing of Papemelroti's co-founder Mr. Bienvenido Alejandro.

I don't know him personally but as the person who shared Papemelroti to the world, I'm so thankful and inspired and sad at the same time.

I grew up admiring the brand's products and was my main inspiration in so many of my projects. I dreamed of going to their story but until today, I've never visited a brick and mortar Papemelroti store. My vision today has so much to do with their style and I can only say that without it, I may have different style and aesthetics in my work and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way.
