Not everyone calls the Philippines home. Many still call it part of who they are.
We believe Filipino heritage should be seen, worn, and lived. PirmaPinas keeps pre-colonial scripts alive in modern pieces you can wear.
Every design starts with Aster, the artist behind PirmaPinas. He researches the word, studies the script, then sketches until the piece feels ready to carry meaning.

Worn by Filipinos living abroad.
Three of the messages we keep coming back to.
First name, city, what they said.
I wore this to a family gathering. My titas in Toronto noticed the script before I told them. They knew Baybayin and now also want one.

Perfektes Geschenk! Die Tasse kam sicher verpackt innerhalb von einer Woche an. Neue Lieblingstasse meiner philippinischen Freundin.

My mom never spoke Bisaya with me, so I always felt like something was missing. This mug is such a simple way to reconnect. Love it! Getting tees next.

Made for Filipinos who want to wear their story, wherever they are in the world.
