Our Story

more than a brand

“KOSTURA”, which means needlework or stitching in Filipino, is the product of our commitment in making refined & purposeful clothing. born with the intention of quality in mind, we champion the works of skillful artisans with decades of experience in each piece we make. more than a brand, we are a movement that inspires making mindful decisions in today’s instant world.

being mindful isn’t just about how we make your clothes, it is our way of life.

empowering & ethical

we believe in true Filipino artistry and adhere to principles of fair trade in working with our talented modistes— of all age & gender, providing them with sustainable income, safe working conditions, and a place hone and perfect their skills.

environment-friendly

there is no plan(et) B. which is why at KOSTURA, we are actively working on reducing our footprint by making use of natural, recycled, and deadstock fabrics. we limit our stocks & shipping days, use compostable packaging, and minimize our waste in both shipping & production through upcycling, repurposing, and donating excess materials. we are earnestly doing our best to ensure lasting positive impact on the environment. you can read more about our initiative by checking the hashtag #sustainabilityatKOSTURA on instagram.

all our products are 100% designed, sourced, and mindfully made in the Philippines.
