Weavers of ORIAS

Behind every ORIAS piece is a community of Filipino artisans whose craftsmanship brings each design to life—from rattan weavers in the provinces to leather craftsmen in our Quezon City atelier.

The Rattan Weavers

Our solihiya panels are handwoven using techniques passed down through generations, requiring precision, patience, and deep familiarity with the material.

Each weave takes time and skill, with every panel shaped by hand to bring texture, structure, and heritage into every ORIAS piece.

The Embroiderers of Taal

Our Cardibarong collection features pinpoint hand embroidery by artisans from Taal, Batangas — a town renowned for its embroidery tradition.

Each motif is stitched individually, a process that can take days for a single garment. The result is a level of detail that no machine can replicate.

The Leather Workers

In our atelier, leather craftsmen cut, stitch, and assemble each piece from premium cowhide, shaping the clean, structured silhouettes that define ORIAS.

Each piece reflects the hands that made it — preserving tradition while bringing it into a modern context.
