Jonah Borces, like most Filipinas, is gifted, resilient and industrious. Her thoughtful work product is on full display in our clothing line. Each piece is meticulously handmade by her, no two are exactly identical.

Jonah and I have worked together for 2 decades and counting. She was my mother’s most prolific and earnest costume jewelry designer in Cebu where I was fortunate enough to create accessories with her.

Today, Jonah is the artisan behind my baskets (our best-selling Barkin) and the seamstress who sews my designs into reality, making the intangible tangible. She is also mentoring 2 junior seamstresses who assist her in our creations.
