Our Social Mission
When you wear your heritage with Cambio & Co., your support enables us to...
How Your Purchases Give Back
Every time you purchase Filipino jewelry, bags, atbp. (etc.) from Cambio & Co., it is invested back into local businesses in the Philippines.
In 2024, we paid our partners CA$300,000 (PH₱ 12 MILLION)!
Beyond our partnership with artisans in the Philippines, we are also committed to solidarity.
As diaspora Filipinos, we see clearly that systems of oppression, like colonialism, imperialism, racism, and capitalism are interconnected. But so is our liberation.
In 2024, you helped us raise CA$10,673.35 for families in Gaza and Palestinian - Filipino refugees in the Philippines. Together, we also donated PHP1,500 to PISTON in support of jeepney workers in the homeland.

Where In The Philippines You Supported Artisan Communities
8,000 pieces of jewelry & bags were handcrafted by filipino artisans
Every purchase you made from us in 2022 was designed and handcrafted in the Philippines. The Filipino creatives who made your favs were inspired by our culture to highlight native materials and traditional techniques found across the islands.
Through a community of designers, artisans, and advocates (that's you!), Cambio & Co. helps to preserve the following crafting traditions:
Gold Filigree
Ilocos Sur, Benguet, & Bicol | Plateros (metalsmiths) melt, hammer, and twist precious metal threads into lace-like patterns.
Shellcrafting
Cebu | Artisans cut, polish, in-lay, and craft seashells, like responsibly sourced capiz & macabebe, to bring out its natural beauty.
Brass-Casting
South Cotabato | Temwel, the Tboli method of brass-casting, centers a coal-powered hearth and an entire community working together.
Woodworking
South Cotabato | Tau Mokoyo (Tboli woodcarvers) carve by hand, dye with botanical extracts, then etch their intricate patterns.
Scrap Fabric Weaving
Across Metro Manila | The R2R signature weave is rooted in the humble basketweave which uses a square wooden frame to upcycle fabric.
Handloom Weaving
Ilocos, Abra, & Mindoro | A centuries-old technique of making textiles using a frame or machine that separates the threads as you weave a pattern.
