Juanita Studio
Slipping into a Juanita Studio pair feels like stepping into an era long passed. The perfect marriage of vintage charm and modern conscience, the proudly Filipino brand is all about reimagining classics and bringing them into the now. Each of their ready-to-wear and customized designs brings a wave of nostalgia, like looking at your mother’s closet when you were younger—from heeled loafers like the Augusta and Caridad to Mary Janes like the Badang and Bettina. But for Juanita Studio, going retro isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about creating stylish pairs while championing Filipino craftsmanship and committing to slower fashion.
Juanita Studio’s dedication to sustainability runs deep as well. Since its inception in 2022, its leather footwear and bags have all been skillfully handmade to order in small family-owned workshops using ethically sourced materials. This practice has allowed the brand to deliver quality footwear while lessening waste; and, in effect, the local favorite has built a cult following behind the artistry and purpose in each pair. This is a brand that stands for something and looks great doing it. With every step in Juanita Studio, you’re supporting local artisans and sustainable fashion with thoughtful, timeless pieces.
