💡 Social Innovation & Indigenous Community Partnerships
Direct Handloom Sourcing Agreements: The brand collaborates directly with ethnic weaving communities in Abra, Cordillera, Cavite, Ilocos, Iloilo, and South Cotabato. By bypassing intermediaries, they ensure fair trade pricing and consistent economic support for master weavers practicing traditional geometric weaves like Kantarines, Binakol and Pinilian.
Preserving Ancestral Knowledge: This commercial-creative partnership provides financial incentives for younger generations in indigenous communities to sustain traditional handloom technologies, effectively acting as an informal cultural preservation program.
