LIKHA Brings Filipino Craftsmanship to Nordstrom with Sustainable Designs
LIKHA's Exciting Debut at Nordstrom
On December 11, 2025, LIKHA, a brand that showcases the rich artistry of Filipino craftsmanship, officially launched its product line at Nordstrom. This Filipino lifestyle brand has gained recognition for its artisan-made home décor, jewelry, and fashion accessories. The name 'LIKHA,' which translates to 'creation' in Filipino, encapsulates the brand's mission to empower local artisans while promoting sustainable design practices.
Commitment to Sustainability
LIKHA's partnership with Nordstrom symbolizes a shared belief in sustainability and ethical sourcing. Nathalie Llorente-Lim, the founder and CEO of LIKHA, expressed her enthusiasm for this collaboration, emphasizing that their partnership extends beyond mere retail—it is a celebration of Filipino craftsmanship and a stride toward a more sustainable and inclusive future in design.
LIKHA is recognized as a Fair Trade and People & Planet First verified brand. The company proudly collaborates with the Nest Ethical Handcraft Program, ensuring that its products are not only beautiful but also ethically made. Each piece is handcrafted from natural materials sourced from local communities, including seagrass, abaca, palm, coconut coir, shells, and sustainably harvested woods. Moreover, many designs integrate upcycled agricultural byproducts, showcasing LIKHA's innovative approach to sustainability.
Craftsmanship and Community Empowerment
The launch features a diverse collection, including handwoven home décor, unique jewelry, and fashionable accessories, all crafted in collaboration with various artisan communities across the Philippines. These products are designed with the modern consumer in mind, carrying stories of heritage and hope. LIKHA blends traditional techniques passed down through generations with contemporary aesthetics, making every piece a one-of-a-kind treasure.
The brand has established commendable initiatives for its artisans. Notably, LIKHA ensures 100% wage parity for women artisans, guaranteeing they receive equal compensation as their male counterparts. Additionally, the brand utilizes 90% natural and 95% locally sourced materials throughout its production lines, minimizing environmental impact while bolstering local economies.
A Legacy Built on Impact
Founded by Nathalie Llorente-Lim, who is a Tory Burch Fellow, a Vital Voices Global Fellow, and a WBENC-certified woman entrepreneur, LIKHA is dedicated to cultivating a business model that emphasizes cultural heritage and social impact. Llorente-Lim passionately states, "Every piece we create represents a livelihood, a story, and a choice for a more sustainable world." According to her, the essence of LIKHA lies not only in the products but also in the dignity, pride, and real progress it fosters within artisan communities.
By joining the ranks of like-minded, purpose-driven brands at Nordstrom, LIKHA is amplifying its impact in the world of sustainable design. The brand aims to create opportunities for artisans while introducing the beauty of Filipino culture into homes and wardrobes across the United States. As consumers increasingly look for products that align with their values, LIKHA sets a benchmark for quality craftsmanship combined with ethical practices, proving that luxury can indeed be sustainable.
In a world where shopping decisions combine aesthetics with ethical considerations, LIKHA stands as a testament to the synergy of beauty, purpose, and empowerment. The brand invites customers not just to purchase a product, but to join a movement that values art, culture, and community.
