Ethically sourced shoes
AS CONSUMERS have become increasingly conscious of their impact on the environment, home-grown Filipino shoe brand, Triloueva, offers trendy and comfortable footwear crafted from materials like vegan leather, locally sourced fabric, and wooden heels. Triloueva, a portmanteau of its founder’s name, TRIna LOUisse EVAngelista, began its journey in 2014 with a minimal capital of only P5,000. She was determined to start a business that would solve her personal struggle: the quest for the perfect footwear for her size 10 feet without breaking the bank or compromising on style. To do this she collaborates with the skilled artisans of Marikina to create sustainable and affordable work and business casual shoes. The average lifecycle for Triloueva shoes is three to five years. The brand gained popularity over time thanks to its quality and fresh designs. Today, Triloueva products are not just sold online but are also available at major shopping malls in Manila and Alabang. They have even started receiving orders from abroad which they fulfill through FedEx. Ms. Evangelista is now motivated to expand her business beyond shoes, envisioning a boutique featuring diverse accessories and apparel, and contemplating the inclusion of unique heel designs through international collaborations with renowned fashion designers.
