Stone Craft by Noah


Naturally, the items are expensive, but you understand that after a tour of the factory at the back of the showroom. Jewelry boxes come with tags from P1,500 to P25,000! So you can just imagine the price tags of the console tables, mirror borders, fruit stands, lampshades.





Stonecraft like boxes and home décor come from a tedious process of shaping semi-precious stone – meticulously sized and polished a dozen times, and each piece hand-painted to form a Filipino scene.

Hikaban Weaves





Abaca-based crafts like bags, mats and home décor, are products of abaca strands braided and rolled individually, then tied and sewn to take on a function.

Bamboo Products 





From trays, kitchen ware to building materials – are cleaned, hardened, shaped by hand, with an eye for details.
