Discover the Story Behind Every Larone Handbag: A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Sustainability 🌿
In every Larone handbag, there’s a story—a tapestry woven with threads of persistence, creativity, and heritage. At the heart of our sustainable fashion lies a commitment to artistry and community, a journey that began over 90 years ago with my grandfather, Alex.
A Family Legacy of Craftsmanship 🧵
Our story begins humbly with Alex, an orphan who discovered his passion for weaving rattan furniture. His early years were shaped by resilience and a desire to create something meaningful. Over time, his craft blossomed into a business that not only supported his family but also uplifted countless artisans. For Alex, weaving was more than a livelihood—it was a way to weave hope and opportunities for others.
This legacy continued with my parents, Toni and Veronica. My father carried on the tradition of handwoven furniture, expanding Alex’s vision for over 70 years. In 1984, my mother founded Larone Handbags, blending Filipino artistry with fashion-forward designs. Together, they brought Filipino craftsmanship to the global stage, transforming local handiwork into a beacon of livelihood for artisan families.
Continuing the Legacy 🌟
As the third generation in this journey, I am honored to carry forward my family’s passion for weaving. With a degree in fashion manufacturing from FIDM in Los Angeles and extensive experience in the global fashion industry, I am dedicated to merging traditional techniques with innovative designs.
Working with artisans is deeply personal. Many share stories of how they pray for our business’s success, knowing their livelihood depends on it. Their prayers and trust fuel our mission to empower communities through sustainable fashion.
