KUMUSTA, WELCOME TO ARCHIPELAGO!
An archipelago is a cluster of islands amidst a
vast sea. On a map, it's a series of scattered dots barely noticeable
against a wide blue expanse. In the diverse sea of American culture,
non-mainstream cultures also tend to be lost or ignored. At Archipelago,
we want to redraw that map, in a fun and creative way.
We are a family business that started with a desire to utilize
our diverse creative talents. Currently, we're focused on apparel,
primarily T-shirt designs because it's a popular medium that offers
the possibility of reaching a broad audience in an affordable
way. We want to speak to an audience that's largely been ignored.
As you'll see our designs have a unique sensibility and attitude.
As Filipino-Americans, our initial focus will be on our culture.
Eventually, we plan to expand our designs to other Asian-American
and immigrant cultures. We're continually adding to our product
line so bookmark our site and come back again. Thank you for visiting
our site!
