KUMUSTA,
WELCOME TO ARCHIPELAGO!
{är-ke-pe-le-gô}
An archipelago is a group of islands amidst a
body of water. On a map, it's a cluster of dots
surrounded by blue. In the diverse sea of American
culture, non-mainstream cultures also tend to
be clustered and lost in the great melting pot.
At Archipelago, we are redrawing that map, and
spicing up the pot in a fun and creative way.
History
We are a Filipino-American family business that
started with a desire to combine our creative
talents and honor our heritage. As you'll see,
our designs have a unique style and humor and
although many of them are created for the Asian
American community, they can be worn by anyone.
Product
In producing our apparel, the two main factors
we consider are creativity and quality. The designs
are originals that cannot be found in a mall.
They are not logo-driven so you are more than
a walking billboard for us. We strive to project
a postive image for Asian Americans and we hope
our designs will express something about you.
Each shirt is screenprinted and packaged with
care and sent off as quickly as our time and inventory
allow.
Partners/Social
Responsibility
We are committed to partnering with companies
that produce high-quality products and who are
socially responsible. Most of the shirts we use
for screenprinting are American Apparel
shirts. This is a brand that’s a leader
in high quality apparel that is smoother, softer,
and sustainable. And, the employees who make the
shirts are treated and compensated fairly helping
to promote a higher standard of living. Other
distributors we work with are also associated
with the FLA (Fair Labor Association),
a non-profit organization that promotes adherence
to international labor standards and to improve
working conditions worldwide.
Thank you/ Salamat
Much Love/Mahal to our loyal customers who come
back and continually support Archipelago, and
“Welcome!” to the new ones who find
us. A big “Thanks/Salamat!” to all
of you.
We’re continually expanding our bounds and
adding to our product line so bookmark our site
to your favorites list and come back again and
if you appreciate what we do, please let others
know.
Thank you for visiting our little corner of cyberspace.
Sincerely,
THE
ARCHIPELAGO TURTLES
