Eco-ethical Lifestyle

What’s in the name?

Siklo is a Pilipino word which means “cycle” and Pilipinas to denote that it is made by happy folks in their tropical sun, picturesque islands, and ‘admiring the typhoon’ way of life. It is in this setting that the brand was conceived.

We go for eco-ethical lifestyle

So much can be read and heard about passion, missions, and campaigns regarding climate change issues and environmental concerns. We share the same sentiment as advocates for eco-ethical lifestyle.

It’s more fun going green!

We are stoked by the idea that re-purposing is a win-win garbage solution for everyone. Siklo upcycled products are made by hand. Passion is next to attention in the making of every piece. Like fingerprints, no item is identical. Each product has its own unique character and individuality. With such traits, wearing a Siklo bag makes you ooze with personality. What can be more sexier than that?

History

Years back, founding couple Lyndon and Clarice Ecuacion, in their typical backpacking adventures to islands around the Philippines, improvised a solution in protecting electronic devices and cameras using “interyor” – local name for inner tube, because back then, dry bags were not yet widely available. The inner tube fashioned into gadget bag served them well. Naturally waterproof, it beats the waves and rain when crossing the islands on outriggers and tough enough for a rugged island lifestyle.

Onwards

By and by, it became a sustainable eco-ethical enterprise as conscientious consumerism starts trending. Established in 2012 and overtime had upcycled over 20 tons of discarded tire inner tube. Island backpacking also evolved into island bikepacking where some Siklo designs were tested. Simple and attractive characterize Siklo bags.
