CREATOR
Racionamento
Raciónamento, founded by Joanna Santelices, is a heritage-rooted brand that reimagines her grandmother’s legacy through contemporary design and traditional Filipino craftsmanship.
Inspired by memories of growing up in her grandmother Minda’s home-turned-workshop, where the scent of rattan lingered and hands moved with purpose, Joanna established Raciónamento to honor and carry forward the craft she was raised around. What began as a quiet, homegrown business in the 1980s crafting rattan furniture has blossomed into a line of thoughtful, small-batch wicker bags that celebrate both form and function.
Each signature Raciónamento piece, built on a steel frame and handwoven by skilled artisans, reflects a mindful approach to making: designed to be used, loved, and passed on. Drawing from time-honored techniques and responsibly sourced natural materials, the brand remains deeply committed to ethical production, sustainability, and preserving local craft.
Today, Raciónamento is more than a collection of beautiful objects. It’s a continuation of a family story, a celebration of slow creation, and a preservation of stories told through craft. Through her work, Joanna ensures that Filipino artistry and livelihoods not only endure but thrive. Timeless, well-made, and always with purpose.
