What powers WoonHung?

Sustainability

The heart of WoonHung lies in sustaining the skill of the craftspeople

and their ability to provide for their families now, and in the future.

When you choose WoonHung, you choose to support a community of

skilled craftsmen. Many hands, and many lives are involved and

affected by the decisions we make. WoonHung’s approach to

sustainability looks not only to the choice and treatment of renewable

materials, but also, the sustainability of livelihoods.

Each piece of every collection of WoonHung is lovingly handmade by

skilled craftsmen from Cebu, Philippines. Each bead, seemingly

machine-made with the perfect cut and colour, has gone through multiple

hands and tireless hours. From washing, sorting, hand-dyeing, beading and

polishing, WoonHung’s pieces are the result of traditional skills of cottage

industries that have been passed on for generations.

WoonHung looks to maximize the potential of a material, and to increase

its longevity and natural beauty through simple methods and tools employed

by the makers of Cebu. This commitment to “no waste” has created a

material-first approach for each of WoonHung’s designs. This requires

a determination to find the best ways to showcase the beauty of each

material, and working closely with the very people who live and breathe the

environment and natural materials they are so intimately involved with.
