About the Brand
Banago, established in 2011, is the brainchild of New York- Filipina designer Renée Patron. The origins of the brand stemmed from Patron’s childhood upbringing between the Philippines and the US. She created the brand in 2011 to help independent weavers expand the artisan livelihood and fashion industry in her native region of Samar Island in the Philippines. After a twenty year career in the fashion industry with US, European and Japan companies, she pioneered and paved the way for new proudly made Philippine brands you see in the market today.
​​
Featured in Vogue, Elle, Lucky, Conde Nast Traveler, and also stocked in retail giants as Le Bon Marche, Merci, Anthropologie, Bloomingdales, and collaborative collections with Tommy Bahama and Jcrew, Banago has made a name for itself in the fashion industry around the globe by introducing ancient Philippine craftsmanship and weaving techniques and reinventing them with a modern design twist to fit the lifestyle of the modern woman, at the beach or in the city.​
Since 2011, the BANAGO brand has expanded from bags and accessories to home accent pieces, commissioned art works, and interior decor projects.
​
As the brand grows year by year, Patron continues to create these one-of-a-kind handmade pieces that connect people to their culture and spread proudly Philippine made products across the world.
