Abacá / ah-bə-KAH /
People, places & tradition. Telling age-old stories
with a modern aesthetic.
Carefully designed and selected handmade items
and found objects.
We believe every place has a story to tell,
every culture something to offer.
We aim to support communities and preserve
traditional craft.
