“Working with ANTHILL, as a company in the US, has been a dream partnership. Not only has ANTHILL has provided custom services on the textiles we have used for our Binakol tote and Abaca buckets, allowing us to customize the colors specific to our brand; but also they have taken us under their wing, traveled with us to allow us to connect with our artisans on a deeper level. Our partnership extends beyond a transactional business relationship — we learn about our Philippine culture, indigenous practices through sustainability, and are able to build relationships with Philippine artisans."
“As a startup brand in the US, bago is so honored to be partnering with ANTHILL. We share the same mission: helping to preserve Filipino heritage by showcasing to the world the beautiful weaves of our indigenous communities. ANTHILL has supported us, every step of the way, helping us build our brand by catering to our color palette and even our most detailed design needs. Another reason we chose ANTHILL is because of their transparency and integrity. We feel confident that they always ensure the weaves are ethically sourced, credited, and compensated for. Not only that, we know they are going beyond this and helping the weaving communities develop into self-sustaining businesses. We look forward to discovering and celebrating our heritage with our fellow Filipino Americans through the weaves that ANTHILL provides. And we are excited for the day we can visit ANTHILL and our weaving communities."
“ANTHILL has been instrumental in our development as a small business, both as a supplier providing access to weaves directly from weaving communities and also as an educator as they teach us about provenance of the weaves in a wholly transparent manner. We feel confident working with ANTHILL knowing that all the weaves we use are ethically sourced and all the stakeholders are paid a fair wage for their work. ANTHILL also helps with quality control so that the weaves that arrive at our workshop for production are of the highest quality.”
“We were very excited to design Banago bags using our Samar banig textiles combined with ANTHILL weavers’ beautiful fabrics. We love supporting our Philippine weavers, and working through Anya and her team at ANTHILL made the process much smoother and easier. It's nice to find a like-minded social enterprise that shares the same goals as we do. We are looking forward to more projects together!”
“As a leading luxury boutique resort in the Philippines, we are dedicated to improving our sustainability efforts whilst maintaining a luxury guests experience. Responsible sourcing of products used throughout the resort has enabled us to support local and environmentally conscious suppliers, from the soft furnishings in the rooms, the food served within the restaurant, and the items available within the resort boutique. ANTHILL, based in Cebu, has been instrumental in this endeavor. ANTHILL’s traditional Filipino fabrics, and in particular their no-waste fabric produced from waste pieces is a shining example of Filipino craftsmanship and eco-consciousness. It is this beautiful fabric in several color variations, that adorns many of the soft furnishings within our rooms.”
