Every bag has a maker.
HonorHonor works with women in the Philippines who use their skills and creativity to make our bags by hand. Their work creates beautiful products and an opportunity to earn additional income for their families.
For Maria Luz, weaving is a family tradition.
As a girl growing up in Negros Occidental, Maria Luz watched her mother weave traditional banig (sleeping mats) from palm leaves. Seeing her mother’s hands transform simple materials into something useful and beautiful sparked Maria Luz’s own love of handicrafts.
Years later, Maria Luz returned to the craft she had loved as a girl. She began experimenting with new colors, patterns and designs and eventually turned her creativity into a small home-based business.
Today, that same creativity can be found in the bags she makes
