About me: Archipelago (www.archipelago-inc.com) is a Seattle based, family owned Filipino-American apparel company. We are four siblings, collectively over 99 years of age, designing clothing and more for the Filipino and Asian American community. Since we wanted others to stand up and represent our community, we decided to go ahead and do just that.
Who I'd like to meet: We'd love to meet people interested in Archipelago's design and those striving to make the Filipino and Asian American communities more visible.
