As a third-generation shoemaker carrying on the legacy of Marikina craftsmanship, the journey doesn't stop at tradition—it evolves through innovation.
We are incredibly proud to reveal ‘Tindig’, a 6-inch architectural wedge sandal sculpted from solid wood and finished in a clean cream varnish. For this special prototype, the classic ROWELIZA silhouette meets the future: a bold upper strap engineered from DOST - PTRI sustainable banana fiber needle-punch nonwoven felt, reinforced with premium genuine leather for ultimate comfort and structural integrity.
Behind every innovation is a community of visionaries turning ideas into impact.
