Keanu: A La Union Lifestyle Brand Rooted in Family, Craft, and Sustainable Practices
La Union, Philippines – In the heart of La Union's relaxed coastal scene, a unique brand is emerging, quietly weaving together the threads of family, artisanal craftsmanship, and a deep commitment to sustainability. Meet Keanu, a lifestyle brand born from the vision of Chrystalle Buen, a talented fashion designer with a captivating personal story.
Buen, a half-Filipino, half-Ukrainian Canadian, and a proud graduate of Miriam College, brings a global perspective and a passion for slow living to her brand. Keanu isn't just about creating beautiful products; it's about embodying a mindful approach to life and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines.
A Journey of Personal Milestones and Creative Vision
Chrystalle Buen's journey to creating Keanu is deeply intertwined with her personal life. The brand's name itself is a tribute to her late brother, Keanu, a constant source of inspiration and a reminder of the importance of family. This personal connection fuels her dedication to creating pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also carry a story and a sense of purpose.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability at the Core
Keanu's commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of the brand. Buen prioritizes working with local artisans and using ethically sourced, natural materials. This approach not only supports the local economy but also minimizes the brand's environmental impact. The brand focuses on timeless designs, encouraging consumers to invest in pieces that will last, moving away from the fast-fashion cycle.
“We believe in creating pieces that are made to last, both in terms of quality and style,” says Buen. “It’s about investing in something that you’ll cherish for years to come, and knowing that it was made with respect for the people and the planet.”
