CO-FOUNDER / CREATIVE DIRECTOR

YUKI HIGSON

Yuki Higson has always had a very strong entrepreneurial DNA with an enormous desire to help people. She began her first attempt at social entrepreneurship selling accessories made of recycled materials more than 10 years ago and at the same time, working with a community in Bulacan, Philippines to help her.

Yuki has a marketing degree and also benefited from studying in Central Saint Martins, London. Her creative expertise, intertwined with her husband's background in the corporate world - led the pair to create Style Cat. Style Cat products are born out of their great passion - traveling. On one of these trips, during a visit in Phuket, Thailand, Yuki noticed hotel guests were carrying the same beach bag, which whilst nice, could certainly be improved upon by Filipino artisans.

This sparked an idea to showcase Filipino craftsmanship as well as providing an opportunity for local communities to reach an international audience and displaying their craft.This craftwork is hugely popular and engrained in the Filipino culture and it was nice to see it admired throughout the world.

Through Style Cat's modern designs, Yuki's greatest inspiration is to give a global stage to beautiful traditional Filipino crafts made by artisans all over the archipelago. After all - it's meow or never.
