SUMMER19-CLASSIC MARGARITA
For the wild one...
No moral compass pointing her direction, just following the heels of her gypsy soul,
Many have tried and failed to keep up with curiosity that's as far and wide as the ocean...
New Release
Classic Siargao
The Classic Siargao range was designed as a tribute to our Filipino artisan weavers.
A tradition that dates back to the 13th Century.
This unique weaving is intricate and involves timely techniques.
Due to fast fashion trends, they are now threatened by counterfeit.
We honour, support, and aim to preserve this mind-blowing tradition, and the artisan community.
This range is made from a collection of off-cuts that may have gone to waste.
Sewn together to make patchwork pockets and straps, making every single sling completely unique.
I thank Pio Pio for the collaboration, and allowing me the opportunity to share this incredible tradition in Australia.
Classic Siargao is named after paradise, the surfing capital of the Philippines.
