Happy 1st Birthday Satchmi

Satchmi has steadily grown into a brand that is loved and recognized by many who share their same passion for music and a lifestyle brand that is uniquely theirs. That is why it was no surprise that on the celebration of their store's first birthday last September 26, Saturday, it was jam packed with loyal customers and supporters.

It really was a party! 

There was free food courtesy of Mr. Graham’s Sandwich Shop, their highly talked about Cebuano along with chips and dip filled everyone’s appetite throughout the event. In tandem was Mrs. Graham’s macarons straight from her cafe, specially made for the event complete with vinyl record designs and plating. Their Apple Pie Soda was also served during the party as well as Craftpoint’s Summer Sessions. All free aside from Satchmi’s esteemed third wave coffee.

People got to experience fun and games throughout the event like spin the wheel with prizes from Satchmi’s lifestyle brands — Happy Socks, Lost Nomad, Gouache Bags, The Green House Project, Sunday Paper Co and more, there was also a sleeve face Photo Booth contest, by the end of the night the most creative photo got to take home a Motorino Mk II.

We haven't been to any music gigs lately so it was really refreshing to be in the presence of some of our country's up and coming artists. Guests were treated to awesome performances from B.P. Valenzuela, Reese & Vica, Coeli and CRWN. 

Paul and I enjoyed the act of stand up comedian Chip Balbuena from Comedy Cartel, we were laughing so hard and days after the party we're still going back to his jokes. That was something refreshing and enjoyable. 

It's been an awesome year for Satchmi, from Vinyl Day to the Fresh Filter Vinyl launch we just know that there are just bigger and better things in store for Satchmi. Speaking of which here are some exciting news to look out for next year! 

Some of the things announced were that they are opening a 2nd branch in Quezon City (exact location still top secret) early 2016, the Motorino Mk II now comes in the new color Silver bidding goodbye to the Ivory model, a new Satchmi Blend of beans exclusive from EDSA Beverage Design Studio coming soon to the store and most importantly, a new vinyl compilation that is composed of some of their favourite performers from Vinyl Day 2013 to 2015. Some of the artists include Autotelic, Oh, Flamingo!, BP x CRWN collab, Tandems ’91, She’s Only Sixteen, Reese & Vica, Imago, Taken by Cars, and more! A total of 12 tracks for a vinyl produced and manufactured entirely by Satchmi. The vinyl, entitled “General Assembly” (and rightly so) will be released sometime in 2016.

Exciting things up ahead indeed-can't wait! But for now - Happy First Birthday Satchmi!
