Mestiza Makes
Mestiza Makes, a unique fusion of skating, fashion, and Filipino culture, is the brainchild of a half-Filipino non-binary individual with a passion for all things cute and spooky. This San Diego-based brand reflects their love for skating, J-fashion, and their cultural heritage, offering original designs that resonate with a diverse audience. Committed to community support, Mestiza Makes often collaborates with other creatives, amplifying various artists' work. The brand prides itself on its environmentally conscious operations, using biodegradable materials for shipping and minimizing waste. All screen-printed items are sourced from local POC-owned businesses, while sewn products are custom-made by the Mestiza Makes team.
Beyond fashion, the brand takes a stand on social issues with collaborative designs highlighting topics like decriminalizing sex work and combating food insecurity.
