Holy City Collection
The Holy City Collection is a celebration of two places close to my heart. As a Filipina who has made Charleston, SC my home, I wanted to create a collection that honors both my heritage and my new roots. Handcrafted with Filipino tingting shells, each bag tells a story of culture, artistry, and personal journey. This limited-edition birthday collection is a tribute to tradition, home, and the special moments that shape us—making each piece as unique as the story it carries.

The heart of our craft
Seréne Aura
Dive into the stories, traditions, and artistry that inspire my work. From heritage to creativity, this is where the past meets the present in every piece I create.
Natural Wooden Beads
Chosen for both their durability and organic beauty. Each bead is carefully shaped, smoothed, and polished to preserve the wood’s natural grain—no two pieces are ever exactly alike. This subtle variation is what gives the bag its warmth and character, making it feel alive rather than manufactured.
Banig or Buri // Tight, diagonal pattern is patience, muscle memory, and ancestral knowledge.
Crafted from hand-stripped palm fibers, commonly buri or tikog, the weave reflects a tradition passed down through generations in rural Filipino communities. For centuries, these materials have been harvested sustainably, dried under the sun, and woven by hand into everyday vessels—baskets for harvest, bags for market days, carriers for life’s essentials.
Ting ting // a traditional Filipino weaving material made from thinly split bamboo
The open lattice weave you see is a signature tingting technique: lightweight yet strong, designed to breathe in the tropical climate. Each strip is carefully shaved, sun-dried, and handwoven, a process that reflects sipag at tiyaga—patience, skill, and quiet discipline passed down through generations of artisans.
