About:
Traditional ways of making anchor our products — a sense of time, place and the maker’s own eye, are transmitted through every item, into one’s own home. This path has led us to work with family run businesses who have been in the industry for more than 20 years, developing crafts from materials that are abundant in their own provinces, such as rattan weaving in Bicol, and basketry in Quezon.
We partner with artisan communities and indigenous groups in the Philippines, as well as Filipino makers, creating in continuity around the world. Providing a platform to showcase their work, nurturing Filipino talent is at the heart of what we do.
