About Us
Buy with intent. Be a Conscious consumer.
Kurated Kultura, meaning “culture” in Tagalog, is a Filipina-American owned brand based in the San Francisco Bay Area on the Muwekma Ohlone Land. We are passionate about curating thoughtfully made items from Native Hawaiian, Asian/Asian American, Pacific Islander (NHAAPI) creators, businesses, bakers, authors, and makers, connecting you to the diverse cultures and artistry of our community.
We are committed to conscious consumerism and giving back. By choosing to buy with intent from us, you directly support:
-
Sustainability Efforts: We reduce waste by reusing packaging and sourcing sustainable packaging supplies from fellow AAPI-owned company EcoEnclose. Additionally, we further minimize our environmental impact by acquiring second hand packaging from businesses closing down in order to promote using secondhand and diverting materials from the landfill.
-
Celebrating Asian Talents: We proudly showcase and uplift the talent and businesses of first and second-generation AAPI immigrants. Additionally, we feature artists and authors from Asia, including Indonesia and the Philippines to offer an international spectrum of Asian creativity.
-
Building Community: We believe in making the world a smaller and connected place by sharing diverse cultures
Beyond that, our commitment extends to environmental responsibility. The Road to Zer0 Waste is our framework to operate more sustainably by reducing carbon emissions, waste, and inefficiencies. Our packaging is made from 100% recycled fibers and no new trees cut down in the making of these boxes.
Giving back to our community is at the heart of Kurated Kultura. A portion of proceeds from the items from our items have gone to multiple mutual aid efforts such as:
(Kapwa Kultural Center, Maui Humane Society, Gaza Gofundme, Kapwa Kultural Center)
