About Viveca MNL

Making Philippine fashion fun again

Viveca MNL is a Manila-based brand of maximalist finds for the casually extra — proudly locally made and sourced.

Our story

From thrift finds to made-to-order

Viveca began with curated thrift finds and handmade accessories — pieces for people who’d rather be memorable than minimal.

Our first logo was made in 2018: a random Canva font and a shade of pink we liked. Over time the brand grew into what it is now — @viveca.mnl for maximalist finds and accessories, and @viveca.mnl.shoes, our made-to-order shoe line.

In 2026 we redesigned the logo with the help of an independent artist. It’s inspired by the bedazzled lettering of the early 2000s and based on our designer’s own handwriting — “intentional and authentic to our brand.”

The Viveca timeline

A small brand growing one batch at a time.

Dates and details are taken from Viveca MNL’s own posts.

    New collections, limited slots per batch, and customs open for those who want something one-of-a-kind.

How our shoes are made

Handmade in Liliw, Laguna

Every Viveca pair is made by hand by local shoemakers in Liliw, Laguna.

Because each pair is made to order, we open orders in batches with limited slots. The shoes need proper sunlight to dry, so the weather can affect turnaround times. We think your pair is worth the wait.

What we believe

The Viveca way

extra

Maximalism, always

We’re not here for the soft-girl propaganda. Our pairs are bold, playful and a little bit maarte — butterflies, bows, buckles and candy colors.

local

Proudly Filipino

Locally made and sourced, and inspired by Filipino craft. As we put it: Filipinos knew maximalism best, long before the world did.

yours

Made for you

Made to order means your design, your colors and your size. We love putting our own spin on designs, and customs are open.
