Gifts and Graces is a foundation with the missions to unleash the potential of Filipinos through authentic, thoughtful design. G & G connects Filipino artisans with consumers, while preserving and developing artisan skills and creating a base for sustainable skilled employment. Gifts and Graces handicrafts are beautifully and thoughtfully designed by artisans using traditional techniques, upcycled products, and are crafted by Filipinos from various communities around the country. The foundation works with 15 Active Artisan Communities (network includes 30+ Communities) and 100+ Artisans from all over the Philippines.
