Testimonials

The face masks fit well, so far the best fit I've tried!

Christine

The Warrior Essentials Bag is so convenient to use since all my essentials have its own place. No need to expose all your stuff in one opening.

Lot

This Warrior bag has separate compartments for your mask phone, money, hand sanitizer, keys, pen, so you can be safe, at least with your own things.

We believe that design is instrumental in improving people’s lives. Through responsible design, we are able to create innovative, relevant and practical solutions that meet people’s everyday needs.

We believe that everyone, regardless of circumstance and background, should have the opportunity to earn a decent living. We aspire to help artisans in underprivileged communities to find a more sustainable means to have a living wage.

​By applying research and design with training, we hope to help more artisans to create products of higher value and craftsmanship; thereby providing them with more avenues to find a regular income and to improve their lives.

WHAT WE DO

We empower home based workers and artisans in underprivileged areas by giving them opportunities for work.

​We collaborate with them in creating practical, relevant and ethical lifestyle accessories.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

TESTIMONIALS

This is by far the smartest bag I've ever owned! This bag that folds and becomes many things comes in beautiful Philippine-inspired designs. I can't wait to wear mine tomorrow. It's the right cool blue for this summer! <3 Thank you!

Everywhere I go I bring your Tupi bag. People are always envious - they call it “bag envy”.  Always proud to say that a Filipino artist designed it. And yes, the reaction is often of surprise. I’m glad you are contributing and uplifting the state of Philippine craftsmanship. I’m happy to do my share by proudly wearing them. ❤️
