Gouache creates specialty bags, accessories, and wearables for your city life & urban adventures

From work needs in the daytime, to social engagements at night, to weekend adventures and hobbies - Gouache provides thoughtfully designed, reliable products that accompany you everywhere.

Though it has been a decade since they first introduced the unique method of waxed canvas hand-crafting to the local bag industry, Gouache continues to evolve in style and craftsmanship, while staying committed to creating modern classics for contemporary urban life.

Gouache’s success can be traced back to the passion and vision of owners Louie Poco and Ann Enriquez-Poco. What started as an impulse for Louie to find a sensible and functional camera bag back in 2013 turned into an inspired entrepreneurial idea: Why not create our own bag?

A successful crowd-funding stint with The Spark Project led them to partnerships with local Marikina bag makers and artisans to create the first few bags in the now unmistakable “Gouache waxed canvas and leather” style. Their collaboration extended not only to design, but also to project management solutions and market opportunities.

Today, the expansive Gouache catalog includes, camera bags, satchels, pouches, aprons, purses, totes, and many other versatile products made for those who live and thrive in the city.
