ABOUT US
A beautiful way of living
CELEBRATING TRADITION
At Tradición Manila, we celebrate tradition by honoring the beauty of timeless craftsmanship and traditional materials. Whether you are a home owner or renter, anyone can create a warm and inviting space that reflects the richness of tradition in our community.
HOW WE STARTED
Rooted in the founders' upbringing in the arts and crafts industry in Rizal, Philippines, Tradición Manila is a tribute to their desire to infuse modernity into traditional craftsmanship while supporting local artisans. Growing up surrounded by artists and designers, the founders developed a deep appreciation for the intricate techniques and organic beauty of pandan weaving and other traditional crafts.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought unexpected challenges to the local artisans and manufacturers of woven pandan and craft boxes in the region. Witnessing the artisans struggle to make ends meet and the once-thriving industry face uncertainty, the owners were moved to take action. Inspired by their resilience and determination to preserve their crafts, they felt a renewed sense of responsibility to support and uplift their livelihoods through this business.
OUR MISSION
We are dedicated to work with our local communities in bringing the traditional into modernity, rekindling that sense of homecoming every time you walk through your door. Our handcrafted items are not just beautiful and functional, but serve as symbols of comfort, warmth, and personal connection. In a fast-paced world full of mass-produced items, our products bring a unique touch of elegance and authenticity that truly makes one's house a home.
OUR PARTNERS
We source our materials from diverse regions, ensuring that we not only create stunning products but also uplift local communities and improve livelihoods. By collaborating with talented artisans, we blend traditional techniques with contemporary design.
Each item we produce is crafted with care in Angono, Rizal—known as the art capital of the country. This vibrant community inspires our work, infusing each piece with creativity and passion. Our commitment goes beyond aesthetics; we strive to foster sustainable practices that support both our artisans and the environment.
