— THE KABARU STORY

From Waste to Wearable Wearable Art.

Kabaru Collections was founded by Janet Timbol Muñoz — a woman who believed that fashion could be a force for good. In a world drowning in textile waste, she saw possibility where others saw scraps.

Using upcycled katsa (flour sacks) and retaso (fabric scraps), Janet and her artisans from Pampanga transform discarded materials into timeless pieces — each one carrying the spirit of Filipino culture and the hands that made it.

Every thread we rescue from waste is a thread we weave back into our community.
