SINAGTALA is a beacon of the hope for women and children in conflict zones in the southern Philippines.

Over the past five years, their centers in Marawi and Sulu have provided safe spaces for healing, with weaving at the heart of their empowerment programs.

Their students, once war survivors, now tell their stories through the patterns they create.

Sima, their collection of fabrics, is quintessence of Sinagtala's movement to redefine femininity as both powerful and graceful.

HARVEST, a Creative Community Hub under BAYO Foundation, is weaving for peace to provide economic opportunities to women and their families.

By repurposing, redesigning and up-cycling old military uniforms into well-crafted products, HARVEST provides economic stability that can result to lasting peace in communities while offering a new understanding of the military as peacekeepers.

This lifestyle collection made from reimagined uniforms, showcases how sustainability, heritage, and innovation can work together to honor service while building peace and sustainability.
