We are a venture of three Artists who love local and Asian cultures. We started in the year 2007 and formerly based in Manila. We've made a lot of friends and patrons in our sunday market groups in Makati and Quezon City, trade fairs, restobars and NGO as well as school events. Our network of IP (indigenous Peoples) product providers have also grown in the span of three years. However there was a
four-year hiatus after 2010 when one of our original partners migrated overseas.
2014 presented an opportunity for a comeback, and now we are based in the heart region of the Philippines, Panay. In March 2014, we kickstarted by joining Mercado Real in Iloilo City and we're grateful for the warm welcome of our new-found friends and patrons. Today, we're featuring our own originally produced products. But we're also gradually gathering new sources of our special products like Negrense and Batangueno Coffee. The heart of Likha Asya is the promotion of handmade Art works, handicrafts, unique and decorative items, traditionally inspired contemporary clothing and native products from all over Asia. We strongly support the Indigenous Peoples, community cooperatives of Marginalized sectors through promotion of their products. We do not just sell their products in order to help, we share their culture and real stories to our friends and patrons. We strongly promote the purchase of handmade products as well as small farm community produce and/or organic products as option to mass produced commercial commodities. We also love meeting new local up and coming artists and help them by featuring their artworks. Soon, we'll be selling their crafts and using their artwork on our shirts and other products as well. As of the moment, we have not found a suitable home yet for Likha Asya but we're excited with the endless possibilities. We want to grow with all of you who are aware, want to be aware and want to contribute to the well-being of local artists, Indigenous Peoples and the rest of the marginalized. Talk to us, we'd love to get to know you. Let's talk about culture and the arts.
