Tela means "fabric" in Filipino, and that’s where our story begins. Founded by Alyssa at 19, Tela was inspired by summers spent watching artisans turn raw materials into something beautiful. Those moments sparked a simple idea: fashion can look good and do good.

We’re here to create clothes you’ll actually want to wear—made from natural, biodegradable fabrics and upcycled scraps that would’ve otherwise gone to waste. Every piece is designed with care, built to last, and made to fit seamlessly into your life.

Here’s the reality: the fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters, with a truckload of fabric wasted every second. We don’t have all the answers, but we’re here to take small, intentional steps toward something better. Because what we wear matters, and it’s time we started acting like it.
