Bid farewell to all things fast and disposable by embracing these Philippines-born sustainable shopping sirens. From everyday household items to contemporary fashion, each is a champion of eco-forward, socially aware consciousness.
Loop
An online trove of alternative daily essentials, Loop shelves homegrown indie products and international brands in a diverse online collection spanning household items like freezer bags to hand soaps and skincare, to beautiful ceramics and even bikinis. Order online and they’ll deliver to your hotel room, or pay a little extra to have your items shipped home to you. Cutting down on plastic whilst browsing gorgeous products to make daily chores feel lighter and brighter? Sold.
Anthill Fabric Gallery
Brainchild of Anya Lim, Cebu-based Anthill (aka the rather wordy Alternative Nest and Trading/Training Hub for Indigenous/Ingenious Little Livelihood Seekers) weaves time-honoured textile traditions with sustainable sourcing into a fashion-forward line of clothing and accessories. This socially conscious collective works with regional weaving communities to produce items both desirable and sustainable; while introducing business skills and financial literacy. No bricks n’ mortar store in Manila, but the range is available at pop-ups and online. Peepers peeled for the an upcoming zero-waste collection.
Ritual
There’s not a plastic bag in sight at this Makati conscious coffee counter meets general store championing an array of plant-based eats and treats. From home-brewed java and alcohol to environmentally-friendly laundry soap, there’s something to please all eco warriors – come to stock up on organic items and refills sourced from all across the country, stay for fab coconut-based hot toddies, workshops and talks.
Frank Green Philippines
Shop via Facebook for these funky, functional and eco-friendly cups and bottles made to minimise the billions of single-use plastic ending up in a landfill. Ergonomic curves make for an easy non-slip on-the-go sip – the hardest part is choosing from the gorgeous rainbow of soft pastels and bright bolds. Dishwasher safe too, joy!
