About Fino Leatherware

Welcome to FINO Leatherware, where Filipino craftsmanship meets timeless elegance.

Established in 1992, FINO has become synonymous with quality leather goods, earning its place as a trusted purveyor of upscale bags and accessories in the Philippines.

The Beginning

The inception of FINO traces back to a modest entrepreneurial pursuit by a couple. Recognizing the substantial demand for meticulously crafted, locally sourced leather goods, they teamed with their siblings, transforming the venture into a genuine family business.

The vision was clear: offer finely crafted genuine leather goods that seamlessly blend fashion and substance. The founders wanted to create a brand that bridged the gap between local leather products and inaccessible international luxury brands.

Homegrown Leather Crafting Excellence

Through techniques learned by working with European leather consultants, FINO carefully crafts each leather piece. Blending traditional European techniques with modern machinery and using premium leather ensures that each piece is made to last.

In valuing the materials used to create each item, avoiding unnecessary waste has always been a part of FINO’s DNA. From its mindfulness in the stages of production to creating special collections and even staple products from said waste, these values and practices have been with us since setting up shop in the 90s.

Part of FINO’s vision has always included the uplifting of Filipino design and craftsmanship, and in the process, improving the livelihoods of its local craftsmen. We remain proud of our homegrown labor, who through the guidance of our veteran leather craftsmen, ensure the passing down of leather techniques to future generations.

Our Legacy

Over the past 32 years, FINO Leatherware has been featured in the country’s most prestigious publications (as well as some international) and has garnered several design and retail awards. What began with a homegrown sense of style later developed into a signature of sartorial Filipino elegance with its own modern twist, infusing culture and heritage to elevate its leather pieces. Rooted in a vision to create quality pieces meant to last a lifetime, FINO continues to transcend three decades of Philippine design, culture, and craftsmanship.
