Sesotunawa is Taking Time to Rebuild
Regrouping to Move Forward, Honoring Craft and Community
It has been many years since Sesotunawa was launched, and this pause marks an important moment for us—a chance to reflect, rebuild, and move forward. Together with our Tboli artists and volunteers, we’re working to create something even more meaningful for our community and supporters.
While we’re reorganizing and renewing our brand, you can still browse our handcrafted products. If you see something that resonates with you, send us a message—we’ll gladly check availability and arrange to send it directly to you.
Thank you for supporting the Tboli tradition of craftsmanship and being part of this shared story. We can’t wait to welcome you back with new creations and a renewed sense of purpose.
Sesotunawa is inspired by a special kind of virtue lived out by the Tboli of Lake Sebu. When broken down into its roots, Sesotunawa is a union of two Tboli words, “sesotu” or “to make one”, and “nawa” or “spirit”. It literally stands for the spirit of working together.
Sesotunawa extends beyond the community of the Tboli. This sense of community is also alive among those who work alongside the Tboli people. Those who share the same vision of a sustainable cultural and social enterprise. Together, we aim to celebrate and bring different Tboli products to the world.
