The Story of Anna
My name is Anna, and I grew up on a small island in the Philippines called Boracay. I come from humble beginnings the second youngest of eight children, raised by a single mother after my father passed away when I was just 10 years old. Life was never easy for us. At 10, I started working to help support my family. With a brave heart and nothing but hope, I boarded a ferry to Manila alone to work as a babysitter. By 14, I had moved to a nearby island and began working as a saleslady alongside my sister. Growing up, I was a quiet, shy girl who struggled with low self-esteem and was often bullied at school. But deep down, I held onto one powerful dream: to give my mother and my family a better life. At 16, while modeling swimwear, I fell in love with bikinis not just as clothing, but as a symbol of freedom, strength, and self-expression. That was when the dream to create my own brand was born: a brand that would make women feel beautiful, confident, sexy, and empowered, no matter their shape, size, or story. Our journey started by reselling swimwear in Boracay. The vision was strong, but the resources were limited. I didn’t have the money to start a brand until one day, an early investor believed in me and my dream. That support gave me the courage to grow, and for a moment, momentum was on our side.Then the world stopped. When COVID-19 hit, everything came to a halt. We were forced to pause operations for nearly two years. It was one of the hardest seasons of my life but I refused to give up. In 2021, I moved to Bali, Indonesia, carrying my dream with me. At 2022 I started over from scratch. I sourced high-quality, sustainable fabrics and began small-scale production, working with local artisans and family-run workshops. Slowly but surely, Anna The Label was born built on resilience, purpose, and love.Today, we’ve grown beyond swimwear. Anna now creates dresses, activewear, and soon our own natural skincare, all crafted with intention and produced in Bali creating jobs and opportunities for the local community.The name Anna means "yours" in Filipino. To me, it represents independence, beauty, ownership, and strength. We believe that every woman deserves to feel like she owns her body with confidence, pride, and sensuality. Anna isn’t just a clothing brand.It’s a movement.It’s the story of a young island girl who turned struggle into strength, and dreams into reality and now invites every woman to feel as powerful and beautiful as they truly are.
