About Us

“Dire” is a Visayan word for “here” and “Husi“ is a Manobo word for “friend.”

We are a youth organization, a creative social enterprise, an artisan collective, a band of world musicians, a training hub, and a fair trade advocate.

If that already sounds a bagful, wait and see, because we believe that with faith and dreams, we could be so much more.

indigenous is hip


we are indigenous young people from mindanao.

we are proud of our roots.

we allow it to flourish within us.

we allow it to manifest in the things we do.

we wear the spirit.

we take passion in creating handcrafted accessories that say so much about who we are.

see their colors, their patterns, their designs.

if there's one thing we're rich at, it's creativity.


(and through our products, we want you to see our part of the world.)

we're not asking for your pity.

we want your friendship.

hey, we're doing business.

we make beautiful things that accomplish beautiful things.

we call that fair trade.
