Water hyacinth leather goods manufacturer for corporate gifting
Jacinto & Lirio manufactures personalized leather goods from water hyacinth—a traditionally problematic aquatic plant—for corporate and event gifting. The 2–10 person team operates a lean manufacturing and distribution model, selling through Shopify, Etsy, and regional platforms (Shopee) while managing design (Photoshop, InDesign) and paid acquisition (Meta, Google). Active projects around material sourcing and market analysis suggest the core constraint is supply chain reliability and trend forecasting rather than demand generation.
Founded in 2009, Jacinto & Lirio is a Philippine-based social enterprise producing personalized vegan leather goods from water hyacinth. The products span corporate giveaways, event souvenirs, wedding keepsakes, and stationery. The company operates across multiple sales channels—direct-to-consumer via Shopify, marketplace presence on Etsy and Shopee, and B2B corporate gifting. The team is anchored in Pasig City and currently operates at a 2–10 employee scale with minimal hiring velocity. The business model links product innovation with livelihood generation for families affected by water hyacinth infestation in the Philippines.
