F.A.R.M. Unwavered

F.A.R.M., as you are all aware, uses high quality, old, discarded buttons, some of which are really vintage. Some designs never get repeated. They are one of a kind.

F.A.R.M. is a product of an artist's passion for the vintage, a result of her artistic creativity, an instrument to promote a cause - employment, education, empowerment, friendship, love for the art....


F.A.R.M. has a strong network of exceptional women, who do not sell to earn. They are in for an advocacy.

F.A.R.M. is supported by remarkable clients, with astute tastes and discerning in their choices.

and F.A.R.M. is wowing the world because of its unique character.

Those reasons make us stand out from the rest. We will never be affected by skeptics and mimics. Those will come and go.

We may exist now and say goodbye in the future. But this one's for sure, we will definitely leave a mark.

Thank you for patronizing the real F.A.R.M.

Where F.A.R.M. is From

It's from a charming island country of really cool, hospitable people, the Philippines! (The home of Manny Pacquiao, in case the Britons ask)....


From the promising town of Baao, Northeast of the Philippines....

...the home of the first Filipino bishop, Msgr. Jorge Barlin.


From this century-old house in a friendly village San Nicolas...


Above this weathered stairway...

Backside this window....


Behind those curtained doors....

Inside those uncluttered jars...

Is where F.A.R.M. is.

Imperial dwelling for a sublime creation.

Who's Got to Wear it First?

Oh yeah.


Is F.A.R.M. lucky?




No, she is lucky. And we are, too.

Thanks KC for sporting the original F.A.R.M.s

The Very First F.A.R.M.s


"minty green, virgin white, dark knight, lemonade, purple heart, cotton candy, winter blue, ever red-y"




A beautiful start. Vintage glorified.

Buttons are Treasures

What do you normally do with buttons falling off your top? Either you sew it back, put the piece on top of the fridge and forget about it, or just let it disappear in the air. Who cares about buttons?





One woman does.


She cares a whole lot about buttons...



She literally rummaged from trash, to retrieve these buttons.

She collected, sorted.





And thought of a wonderful, wonderful idea.

That's how F.A.R.M. started. Fabulously and absolutely rural-made. By Bidibidi.
