About Rags2riches

We are a fashion and design house based in the Philippines that partners with local artisans to create eco-ethical fashion and home accessories out of upcycled and overstock fabrics. In a world where fashion and design are often seen as excess, R2R is proof that style and sustainability can coexist.

After 13 years of building a strong and resilient community of artisans and advocates, we’ve expanded our operations to bring R2R to Canada and the United States to make eco-ethical fashion accessible to even more people. At R2R, we want to bring our intentional and empowered lifestyle far and wide.

Why This Matters

We don’t just love seeing transformation, we love being a big part of it! R2R is a life and livelihood partner for empowered and dignified artisans as they strive to weave better futures for their families and communities.

We believe in...

“Fashion is not just about style. It has to be about substance and sustainability.”
– Reese Fernandez-Ruiz, President and Founding Partner
