In 2018, Fora by Filipinaz, the annual fund raising event of Zonta Makati and Environs, honored National Artist for Fashion, Mr Ramon Valera by showcasing his works.

Zonta gathered several gowns from their owners, which were turned over to them in their original boxes. Some of these gowns had remained unopened for 40 years. Due to the age and the intricate design of the gowns filled with signature Valera beadwork and pearls, several high end hotels and laundry establishments declined to take on the job of cleaning the garments.

Fortunately, we found Au Beau Blanc.

The owners personally took the time to oversee the delicate task of cleaning the dresses before and after the event.  These precious heirloom gowns, many of which were worn by the owners for their own weddings, were brought out of hiding after 40 years and given a fresh clean look, ready for viewing .

This experience has proven that i can only depend on Au Beau Blanc to clean and restore the most delicate vintage dresses with intricate beadwork and pearls.
