ABOUT US
Our History
Leather Goods Manila officially started in 2017, but its roots go back even further. Co-owner Nica Evangelista-Matias comes from a long line of shoemakers in Marikina, where she was immersed in the shoe industry lifestyle from a young age. Her deep connection to the craft and her family's legacy laid the foundation for what would become Leather Goods Manila.
The journey from tradition to innovation was supported by her husband, Jing, whose encouragement and dedication were crucial in transforming Nica’s dreams into reality. With a shared vision and a simple goal of up-cycling leather scraps from their family factory, they set out to create something new and exciting. Driven by hopes of a brighter future, Leather Goods Manila was born, blending rich heritage with modern creativity.
