1 Most Definitely Filipino!
Progressively unique and homegrown, ORIAS Essentials prides itself in being truly a one-of-a-kind Filipino sartorial lifestyle brand that promotes sustainability, circularity, inclusivity and the Filipino inventiveness. With their straightforward design that aims to satisfy the metropolitan life of the modern Filipino consumer, ORIAS Essentials tapped into a market so closely attuned to the idea of “local going global.”
As the brand grew, Creative Director Vin Orias sought the development of not only bespoke wear but also accessories, footwear, bags, and most recently, their Home line. Believing in the power of authentic partnerships and meaningful collaborations, ORIAS hit the gold mine when they unveiled their most sought-after Solihiya Pangasinan woven designs. Introduced in their Resort 2020 collection, their classic, statement-making, conversation piece, the Solihiya Leather Mini Roller put the brand not only on the local fashion industry’s radar but also on numerous media outlets, at premiere trade shows, on national news.
With no signs of stopping, and continuously making conscientious efforts to help weave their partner artisans closer to a financially stable and better future, ORIAS shows that owning your narrative, believing in it, and proactively making it into reality is what truly makes a brand global.
