Wearable Eco Friendly Fashion ♥
I spent the 90s and early 2000's growing up in the Philippines. That's where I first got interested in clothing. I'd spend hours at my Grandpa's office learning all about fashion + fabric. I saw all the work that went into a single garment and learned to appreciate it. From designing to sampling to sewing to production, I was exposed to everything and knew that every garment had a story.
As I graduated to High School, I took a more active role in learning about the production process. I started drawing and designing and eventually found my way into the more technical aspects of production. In college I started drafting my own patterns and sewing some of my own clothes.
Fast forward to New York, 2009 when I first stumbled upon Etsy. I immediately opened my first shop and started selling! When I made my first sale, I was ecstatic! Someone thought my work was good enough to pay for it! After 5 years in New York, I decided to move back to the Bay Area, where I am now currently based.
Several years after first finding Etsy, I'm still here! I take what I learned from my past and have used it to create my present. I sincerely hope you enjoy my designs and come back to visit my shop :)

For the last several years, I've been sewing my designs myself. As I've gotten older and grown my business, I've realized this is not a sustainable practice. In the last year I've partnered with a small manufacturing studio in Manila, Philippines to help with my production. My team of 5 helps with the production of all new designs. If a design is made in the Philippines, you will see that info in the listing description. All others were made in California.
Thank you!
