At Soli & Sun, every accessory tells a story—one of heritage, empowerment, and artful craftsmanship. More than just style, each piece carries the weight of a deeper mission: to uplift your wardrobe while empowering the talented female artisans of the Philippines who bring our designs to life. When you choose a Soli & Sun accessory, you’re not only adding a touch of tropical elegance to your collection, but you’re also supporting a sustainable initiative that keeps traditional crafts alive for future generations.
A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Founded in 2020 by British designer Clare Hynes, Soli & Sun is an independent statement accessories brand that draws inspiration from the vibrant spirit of tropical getaways. Clare’s journey began when she called the Philippines home for three years, a period that sparked a profound connection with the local communities. It was here that she met the artisans who would become the heart of Soli & Sun. Today, Clare collaborates closely with these skilled women, incorporating their traditional weaving techniques into every artfully handcrafted bag and piece of jewelry.
From the intricate rattan Solihiya weave to the rich textures of T’nalak fabric, each accessory is a testament to the artisans’ dedication and skill. By working hand-in-hand with these women, Soli & Sun not only creates unique, eye-catching designs but also provides these artisans with a sustainable income, helping to preserve their crafts for future generations.
Making an Impact, One Accessory at a Time
The women behind Soli & Sun are more than just artisans—they are the soul of the brand. Without their artistry, Soli & Sun wouldn’t exist. Since our launch, we have expanded our partnerships to include more female artisans, introducing new traditional weaving techniques like Buntal straw made from palm tree fibers.
Each year, as we continue to grow, we are incredibly proud to support such a skilled and dedicated group of women. And with every bag sold, you, too, are contributing to this meaningful initiative. Your choice helps sustain their livelihoods and ensures that these beautiful, time-honored crafts are passed down to the next generation of women artisans.
Artfully Handcrafted, Sustainably Made
Soli & Sun’s philosophy is simple: create style with soul. By merging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, we offer accessories that are not only beautiful but also meaningful. Every piece is a celebration of the artisans' skills and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines. With each purchase, you’re not just acquiring a fashion statement—you’re becoming part of a larger story, one that champions sustainability, empowerment, and the preservation of indigenous crafts.
At Soli & Sun, we believe that style should do more than just look good—it should make a difference. So, when you carry one of our bags, know that you’re carrying a piece of that story with you.
