At El Felipe, we’ve always believed that fashion should be more than just style. It should be a force for good. This belief has guided us since day one, and now, we are humbled and thrilled to announce that El Felipe has been recognized as the “Leading Sustainable Fashion Brand 2025 – Philippines” by APAC Insider at the Southeast Asian Business Awards.

This is our very first award, an international award

But what makes this special?
APAC Insider is a UK-based business media platform that celebrates excellence across Asia-Pacific. Their Southeast Asian Business Awards highlights the innovators, visionaries, and businesses shaping the future of the region’s economy and society. To be chosen among them is both humbling and inspiring.

It’s a recognition of every tree we’ve helped plant 🌳, every order shipped plastic-free in compostable paper and cassava bags 📦, every effort to keep ocean-bound plastic out of our seas 🌊, every carbon-neutral shipment we’ve made 🚚, and every contribution we’ve channeled to the Feathers Project 💙.

We didn’t set out to win awards. We set out to make a difference. But this milestone reminds us that every conscious choice matters, and that the Philippines has a place in the global conversation on sustainable fashion.

To our community: thank you for being part of this story. This recognition is for you as much as it is for us. Together, we’ll keep building a future where sustainability is not an afterthought, but the heart of fashion.'
