Our Story

ONE WEAVE was founded with a simple goal: to inspire hope and prosperity to communities in need. Our story began in Tondo, Manila, where often children cannot attend school because they’re needed to help earn an income at a very young age. Recognizing these challenges, we partnered with the BYSMP Bless The Children Foundation Inc. (BCFI), an NGO that supports families in Tondo. BCFI runs programs focusing on education and nutrition for children, and they also train mothers in skills like bag-making, providing them with a way to earn money and support their families.
This partnership inspired ONE WEAVE (previously known as Not A Daydream)—a brand that sells beautiful, sustainable, handmade products made by the resilient mothers of Tondo. Our products not only showcase Filipino creativity but also empowers these women to build better lives for themselves and their families. With every purchase, our customers join us in our mission to create a brighter future, inspired in opportunity, and empowerment.
