DISCOVER the ā€œUl’ulunā€ is a traditional beaded belt ornament worn by Mandaya women, crafted with intricate beadwork and often adorned with small brass bells. The inclusion of brass bells is meaningful—they are believed to ward off negative spirits, offer protection to the wearer, and announce one’s presence during community gatherings and rituals. Through its colors, patterns, and sounds, the Ul’ulun reflects the artistry, spirituality, and heritage of the Mandaya tribe.

Honored to collaborate as one of the two beadscraft designers for Jaime Escarpe of JEE Couture’s stunning collection, ā€˜The Echoes of Yesterday,’ inspired by the raw beauty of burning wood. Creating pieces that breathe life into his vision for Manila International Fashion Week has been a truly meaningful experience. Congratulations Kian, your artistry continues to rise, and I’m grateful to be part of this milestone with you.

This hand-beaded men’s panyo sa leeg is inspired by the traditional Filipino Batok tattoo, featuring patterns that symbolize bravery and identity. It combines cultural heritage with modern style, honoring the ancient art of hand-tapping tattoos showcasing the artistry of Filipino craftsmanship.
