Bayong Retaso
Bold, intricate, and full of heart—the Bayong Retaso is a handmade statement bag crafted by persons deprived of liberty in Iloilo. Each piece is created with repurposed fabric scraps, vibrant beadwork, and hand-stitched embroidery. No two are alike, making every bag a celebration of creativity, second chances, and the beauty of human hands at work.

Price Transparency
We believe in shared responsibility and honoring the many hands that bring our weaves to life. That’s why we practice price transparency—so you can see the true value of your purchase and the impact it makes. While some costs are harder to quantify—like design, artisan training, community development, and the everyday work of strengthening our weaving ecosystem—we want you to know exactly what goes into every piece you wear. Your support keeps our supply chain thriving, our partners empowered, and our traditions alive.
