Our Story

IT STARTS WITH THE WHY

We began this journey because we wanted to create a path that honors our roots and celebrates what it means to be Filipino-made.

In a world shaped by fast fashion and mass production, we chose to walk alongside local artisans who continue to find joy in handmade work. Through each piece, we hope to share the beauty of their craft, their heritage, and their stories.

We commit a portion of our profits to give back directly to the artisans and communities we work with. The exact percentage is tied to the business' performance, and we will openly share this at the end of each year for full transparency.

Our artisans work with limited resources but incredible dedication. We want to help build safer, stronger spaces where their skills can thrive and their legacy can be passed on with pride, from one generation to the next.

WHEN DID IT BEGIN?

The idea for D&Co began February 2025, and the business was officially incorporated in April 2025. Primary Collection: Starting with the Basics launches February 2026.

WHO AND WHERE?

Our founder, Floriane, grew up in Metro Manila and now calls Tampa, Florida home after living in Dubai and the UK. Leaving the Philippines only deepened her pride in being Filipino and her commitment to representing what it means to be "Pinoy." Inspired by the wooden kitchenware she once admired in Dapitan Market back home and seeing how similar pieces are embraced in the US, she envisioned a way to bring Filipino craftsmanship to a wider stage.

We are an all-Filipino team, from our artisans in Pampanga, Philippines to those of us sharing their stories in the US.

WHAT IS DALISAY & CO?

The word "Dalisay" is a Tagalog adjective for pure and refined. Rooted in family, the brand takes its name from the founder's mother's maiden name, honoring heritage with every design.

We create timeless acacia wood homeware. Pieces made to be used, shared, and cherished around the table. From plates and bowls to everyday kitchen essentials, each item carries the story of Filipino craftsmanship into the heart of your home.
