About Us

What began as a humble trading business in 1992 has grown into a trusted name in handcrafted and sustainable woven creations.

Founded by Emiliano Flores and named after his wife, Paciencia, a word that embodies patience and perseverance. Paciencia Handicrafts was built on a foundation of hard work, exceptional craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for Filipino artistry and cultural heritage.

The company initially operated as a trader of finely crafted buntal hats sourced from skilled artisans in Quezon Province. These products were supplied to hotels and hospitality establishments across Metro Manila, where they were commonly used as decorative garnishes for beverages and cocktails, adding a distinctive touch of Filipino craftsmanship to the guest experience.

As market demand continued to grow, Paciencia Handicrafts expanded beyond trading and ventured into manufacturing. Leveraging its expertise in traditional weaving techniques, the company began producing a diverse range of handcrafted baskets, home accessories, storage solutions, and decorative articles. This strategic transition enabled the company to create greater value for its artisan communities while delivering high-quality, handcrafted products to different markets.

Our brand has grown alongside the COMMUNITIES we support, maintaining strong relationships with the people and artisans we work with while ADAPTING to the dynamic and evolving needs of the industry.

How it all started

Today, PACIENCIA HANDICRAFTS continues to uphold its commitment to preserving traditional craftsmanship, empowering artisan communities, and creating timeless woven products that showcase the beauty and ingenuity of Filipino products.
