Crate and Barrel Philippines recently commemorated a remarkable 10 years of style and craftsmanship with a Thanksgiving-inspired gathering at SM Aura Premier. The event brought together industry leaders, valued customers, and brand enthusiasts for an evening of gratitude and celebration.

The event began with Steven Ticzon, VP and business unit head for Crate and Barrel, recounting the brand’s humble beginnings: “Their first store, located in a former elevator factory on Chicago’s Wells Street, featured items displayed on actual crates and barrels—a modest start for what has become a global brand.”

The celebration spotlighted several staples presented by Crate and Barrel’s AVP of merchandising Emsie Serra, and division manager of business development Karina Santiago.
