Ia’s Threads is a New York based brand that launched handbag collection in 2017. These exotic, eco-friendly handwoven bags highlight natural plant fibers, mother of pearl shells and exotic leathers. Our mission is not only to provide rare style and everyday elegance that will make women feel empowered and confident with how they look but also to highlight environmental awareness and sustainability. Each handmade piece is designed and handcrafted to a standard of perfection to sprinkle hints of the exotic and bring out a woman’s inner beauty with infusions of love, fun, and adventure.

Ia’s Threads handbags are intricately handwoven from the Buri plant produced from exotic provinces in the Philippines and create a variety of jobs and income to many communities and families of weavers. Each piece conveys a celebration of life, cultures, and traditions. Our Founder & Designer, Ia Faraoni have put detailed designs to ensure the uniqueness of each bag. None of our items are completely identical which add to the authenticity and character of each bag. One bag takes days to hand weave and use thousands of fibers for tight weaving to ensure that they will look and feel as beautiful in 10 years time as it does on the day you take it home. Ia’s Threads also carries handmade jewelry that consists of exotic materials such as shells, coconut wood, silk, coconut shells, and seed beads.

Fashion Designer Ia Faraoni is best known as the prolific force behind Ia’s Threads, a brand known mainly for their exotic, stylish and eco-friendly bags.

The oldest of three children, Ia was born and raised in the Philippines. Fashion has always been an important part of her life growing up, helping her parents in the family fashion store. At the age of 20, she earned a degree in Management Accounting. Ia moved to the US at age 22, not long thereafter she realized that her privilege of being able to live in the US has a greater purpose of inspiring women around the globe to follow their true passion in life. She never forgets where she came from and wants to break the cycle of poverty and at the same time, connect cultural differences through fashion. That led her to pursue her passion for fashion while aspiring to make a difference in people’s lives in the rhythm of giving through fashion and design. In 2010 she combined her leadership experience that she gleaned from when she was elected at age 18 as the youngest municipal council member at a local government unit, together with her degree in business and love for fashion by launching Ia’s Threads as an e-commerce boutique showcasing women’s clothing designed and made by women from the city she grew up. In a desire to spread environmental awareness and to make it a stylish priority, she designed and launched the brand’s eco-friendly handbag collection in 2017. These handbags are handmade by communities and families of weavers in the Philippines. This impactful woman believes that wearing values always leads to making a difference and she relates her style to confidence, inner beauty, and vibrancy.
