Pamana PAMANA is a collection of articles of clothing influenced by the Spaniards during their 400-year long colonization. Visually archived by photographer Jo Ann Bitagcol, in collaboration with set designer Gino Gonzales, the duo sourced and resurrected fine Filipiñana fabrics and captured them in photographs, as a way of "passing on material knowledge about our tradition to the next generation." WHISK DESIGNS is proud to be part of this nationalistic mantra, by translating these images our own way through some of our select products. ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER Jo Ann Bitagcol began her career as a model at age 18. At the peak of her prolific career, she found fascination with the scenes behind the perceived glamour, riveted her attention to photography, and decided that being behind it was her calling. She trained with photographer friends, among them Lilen Uy, one of the country's most established photographers in the Philippines. She photographed images of Filipiñana clothing for the book "Fashionable Filipinas: An Evolution of the Philippine National Dress in Photographs 1860 - 1960" by Gino Gonzales and Mark Higgins. Many of her photographs are also digitally printed onto different garments like shirts and scarves--to be worn or used as art. To see her portfolio, you may follow her on Instagram under @bitagcol .

EMBLEMS Our Emblems can only accommodate a maximum of 3 (three) initials or monograms. All fonts and fonts colors cannot be changed. All Emblem designs can be used for all products. CHASING STRIPES CREATURA MARINA ON BEHALF OF THE GIRAFFE THE PINK PAGODA GREY GARDENS FOLIAGE COLLECTIVE CUSTOMIZED EMBLEMS A customized Emblem that is yours and yours alone can be used in so many ways: you can have them printed on stationery, throw pillows, bath towels -- you can even use them as your wedding monogram. We can go two ways: Custom and Semi-Custom Emblems. Semi-Custom Emblems consist of elements that already exist with any of our other designs (also check out our Print Library). We may put together the elements that you have chosen, and personalize it with your initials or monogram, and date to make it a perfect fit for you. Or, you may choose an existing Emblem design, and change a few elements, if you wish. Also, you can keep costs down if you go down this route. Custom Emblems would require us to start from scratch. We draw and paint with watercolor your personal elements, and together we create your Emblem where only you alone can use the design. (Of course, we can also use it for any of our products!) In the end, we will provide you JPG, PDF or PNG files of your own Emblem and use it however which way you like. All custom work will require a deposit and a signed contract. For inquiries on costs and other concerns, you may email us here .

MONOGRAM RULES A monogrammed item--stationery, robe, pouch , virtually anything--gives it a much more personal touch. It makes it distinctive, created especially for you. And it's just really pretty. Traditionally, it is comprised of the two to three initials of your name (the first, middle and last names). They are usually intertwined with each other, but more modernized versions and streamlined fonts have made it possible for the letters to be separated from each other, making it look cleaner and crisper. So before you add any of our items in your cart, remember that personalized items cannot be returned, so here's a little guide to help you with how you want to style your--and maybe your spouse's--initials.
