HOW LOKAL BAYONG STARTED

Lokal Bayong is a Filipino brand born out of deep love for art and Filipino culture with the intention of advocating for the betterment of the lives of local weaving artisans from different provinces in the Philippines.

The brand's journey started in March 2020, just two weeks before the global pandemic hit, which posed significant challenges. However, with perseverance and resilience, Lokal Bayong eventually took flight in November of the same year.

After six months of hardwork, Lokal Bayong made its way into online market, and garnered international recognition with depots in UAE, Finland, Germany, USA, Australia, and Canada.

What is Bayong?

Lokal Bayong takes its name from the Filipino term "bayong," which refers to the traditional woven bag used by locals for centuries. Bayongs were usually made of woven plant-source materials like buri, pandan, and abaca. These bags have become an iconic symbol of Filipino craftsmanship, showcasing the artistry and creativity deeply rooted in our culture.
