A celebration of gratitude

Luis Espiritu

Pinas Sadya marked a meaningful milestone with a two-day Thanksgiving Afternoon Tea at The Peninsula Manila, gathering around 30 of its most loyal clients, longtime media supporters and friends who believed in the brand from its earliest days. 

Held at the iconic Lobby, the intimate celebration honored those who championed the brand when it was still an emerging curator of Filipino craftsmanship — long before it grew into the vibrant lifestyle brand it is today.

The gathering was a heartfelt tribute to the community that has shaped the brand’s journey: clients who collected its first pieces, storytellers who amplified its mission and partners who embraced its vision of reimagining heritage with joy, pride and authenticity. 

Guests enjoyed an afternoon of conversation and connection before being invited to a private tour of the brand’s showroom at Room 254 — a space that, coincidentally, is also celebrating its first anniversary.

The back-to-back afternoons were filled with nostalgia, gratitude and reflections on how far the brand has come. More importantly, they reaffirmed the brand’s commitment to honoring the people and communities who continue to walk with them. The Thanksgiving Tea was not just a celebration of a milestone, but a celebration of the relationships that made it possible.
