A millennial from Lipa, Batangas was just casually fangirling when she created a DIY phone case in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“June, July of 2020 I posted that video and then ayun nga it went viral. Then I started making also for other members of BTS. People started asking to sell. A lot of foreigners was asking if they can buy and if I can make sell it to the public,” she added. “’Cause my sister is in more of the creative side of the business tas ako mostly sa operations of the business. Kasi zero creativity in my body so ‘yung sister ko talaga ‘yun. So running the website, preparing the orders, talking with the suppliers parang that’s my part of the business,” Patricia shared.
“Parang na-overwhelm talaga kami kasi ‘pag madami ‘yung order mo, iisa-isahin mo pa rin. We stopped it completely kasi nga health and parang ‘yun nga it got a little too tedious to do especially dun sa price na we were selling it,” Theresa said. They are also now collaborating with different local artists as they try to showcase their work through their phone cases.
