It started way back the summer of 1995 when I first came to the Philippines. I fell in love with the place and the people so I decided to spend my retirement day's here. Now I'm based in the Philippines and I do business from here.

I noticed back there in the States that my Filipina wife had a hard time finding clothes in her small size. She usually ends up finding clothes in the children's department which the styles doesn't suit her age. But she's got to deal with that or she'll have no clothes at all. So when I got started with this garment business, I meant to aim on the Asian women.

Our first creation was the "Tapiz" (wrap around towel) made for men, women and children. Then later on, we started making quality dresses in classic styles at reasonable prices that cater to the Asian female population.
