We’re always amazed at all the community connections we can trace through each kind person that has supported us over the years. Michelle and Arman, both pictured here, connect so many dots from this company’s past and present. That’s probably because the Bay Area, where they are both from, has been such a crucial part of this company’s existence. It’s amazing just how small the world seems when so many people know each other. So shout out to the good people of the Bay Area, Michelle and Arman for their support over the years and for making us feel connected to so many. Our barongs connect us to our people that make them in the Philippines, our history and culture, and each other here in the diaspora. We’re thankful for all the connections we’ve made, and we look forward to making more. Michelle wears a customized version of the Chrissi barong here, and Arman wears a customized version of the companion piece to the Chrissi barong: the Matt barong.
