Hello, I’m Mien, Born and raised in Boracay Island, Philippines, I find myself in a completely different country than my motherland. Moving to the Netherlands in 2019 made it a journey of reconnection as I embrace the contrast between two different countries. From being an island soul with a city spirit, I’ve found that my heart and soul are shaped by two cultures; The Philippines where I spent my childhood and youth & The Netherlands where I have placed my roots. I have passion for the little things that tell a powerful story.

Always Summer is my way of keeping that connection alive—celebrating craftsmanship, culture, and the power of handmade pieces that bring meaning into everyday life.
