ABOUT US
Our brand places great value on the transformative power of art, using 100% genuine cowhide leather as our canvas. Each hide is seen as a blank canvas, ready to be crafted into leather pieces that reflect the creativity and skill of the Filipino people. We design and create classic and minimalist leather pieces with sustainability and personalized luxury in mind. We collaborate with individual artists and artisanal communities around the Philippines to provide them the opportunity to give their creativity a voice. This way, we can manifest our rich culture, while simultaneously empowering local artisans by giving them an avenue for creativity as well as a chance to earn a living.
Our artisans and community partners
Our leather artisans are predominantly women who have undergone specialized training within our organization to preserve this craft. They are entrusted with assembling all the components necessary to complete each collection, mindful that certain parts are sourced from our partner collaborators. These artisans carefully hand-stitch each item in their own homes, allowing them to earn a livelihood while balancing family responsibilities.
Furthermore, we engage with diverse communities across the Philippines known for their expertise in traditional crafts such as basketry, loom-weaving and shell-craft among others. These materials native to our country are thoughtfully incorporated into our collections, thereby enriching the distinctly Filipino essence of our products. Additionally, our talented artists hand-paint select leather pieces, providing a personalized dimension to our offerings.
