Unbreakable Passion: The Burger and Bones Journey
In the fast-paced world of fashion, one brand stands out not just for its unique designs but also for its commitment to care for Earth, care for People, and practicing fair share, all with a touch of Filipino culture and heritage. Welcome to the inspiring journey of Burger and Bones—a brand that started small and is now making a big impact on both its customers and the environment.
From Spoofs to Soulful Art
In its early days, back in 2014, Burger and Bones delighted customers with playful spoof designs. However, the founders soon realized their design lacked a deeper connection. They wanted their designs to be personal and meaningful. The pandemic provided a moment of reflection, prompting a shift towards life, nature, and permaculture lifestyle. This transformation became a turning point, with their design evolving into an artwork as a medium for expressing adventures, advocacies, and the beauty of simple pleasures.
Art Born from the Heart
Burger and Bones' creative process is anything but ordinary. Drawing inspiration from the outdoors and love for nature, each piece of art is infused with heartfelt passion and meaning. Their designs go beyond mere drawings; they are powerful segments of treasured memories, experiences, hobbies, and values. Through their art, they aim to raise awareness for environmental causes and value of life, promoting advocacies close to their hearts.
Triumphs and Milestones
"Our journey at Burger and Bones has been marked by significant failures, triumphs, and milestones. Failed to sail at the market after launching at 2014, we’ve decided to restart our operations after the pandemic, last July 2022. Starting with a modest capital of P2,500 and just 20 printed mugs on a pre-order basis, our growth has been exponential. Today, we produce thousands of mugs and trucker caps with our artworks reaching international shores. We've received recognition from major institutions like SM and participated in their Start-Up Market program, paving the way for even greater success. Ayala malls also noticed our unique products and artworks making us part of their Central Bloc family. These opportunities led to the creation of our new sets of canvas for outdoor gears such as patches, neck gaiters, accessories, stickers, running cups, socks, etc. Each milestone fuels our passion to create meaningful artwork and advocacy for positive change. We're grateful for this incredible journey and excited for the future of Burger and Bones."
Looking to the Future
For Burger and Bones, the future holds endless possibilities. Instead of grand aspirations, they focus on cherishing the present moment and letting their mission guide them. Their ultimate goal is to touch the hearts of their customers and inspire positive change through their meaningful artworks and advocacies.
