CONCEPTUALISED & SOURCED FROM ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Siblings Paolo and Denise began conceptualising The Pino Collection in December 2024, inspired by a month-long vacation in Manila, where they reconnected with their roots and discovered a newfound love for Filipino culture and heritage. Immersing themselves in the vibrant traditions, artisanal craftsmanship, and rich history of the Philippines, they were inspired to create a brand that celebrates and preserves Filipino artistry on a global stage.

Currently based in Adelaide, South Australia, Paolo and Denise bring a unique blend of expertise and passion to The Pino Collection.

Co-Founder

PAOLO

Paolo, with a background in digital marketing, public relations, and business development, has honed his skills while working for an international luxury travel publication in Singapore, managing prestigious travel and hospitality clients across the Asia-Pacific region. His experience has given him a keen eye for global branding, market positioning, and storytelling, which he brings to The Pino Collection to elevate Filipino craftsmanship to an international audience.

CO-FOUNDER

DENISE

Denise, on the other hand, comes from a strong background in relationship management within a leading Philippine bank, where she has worked closely with multinational corporations, overseeing their financial and operational requirements. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) and Project Management at Torrens University in Adelaide, Denise brings her strategic and organizational acumen to the brand, ensuring its growth is grounded in solid business principles and a vision for sustainability.

Beyond their professional achievements, Paolo and Denise share a deep passion for travel and cultural exploration, which has fueled their appreciation for authentic, handcrafted goods. Their strong commitment to supporting local communities and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities lies at the heart of The Pino Collection. They aim to empower Filipino artisans by providing them with a platform to showcase their work to a discerning, eco-conscious audience while preserving traditional skills and craftsmanship for future generations.

The Pino Collection is more than just a brand—it’s a celebration of Filipino pride, refined artistry, and a meaningful connection to culture and heritage, brought to life by two siblings with a shared vision and unwavering dedication.
