Our Story
Rooted in Tradition, Growing Towards the Future
Manguni Handcraft, named after the revered bird in Minahasa mythology, began with a vision to intertwine the rich cultural tapestry of Tomohon, North Sulawesi, with the principles of sustainable living. Inspired by the Manguni bird’s symbolism in ancient Minahasan society – a harbinger of harmony, fertility, and prosperity – we embarked on a journey to embody these values in everything we do.
our mission
Our mission is to showcase the unparalleled beauty of North Sulawesi’s handcrafts to the world, while empowering the local artisans and farmers who are the backbone of our community. We strive to create a sustainable ecosystem that respects both the cultural heritage and the natural environment of our homeland. By promoting products that are as authentic as they are eco-conscious, we bridge the gap between tradition and modernity.

Our Impact
Since our inception, Manguni Handcraft has become a beacon of hope and progress in North Sulawesi. Our direct collaboration with local artisans has not only enhanced their livelihoods but has also preserved the traditional skills passed down through generations. We are proud to have created a platform where culture thrives and sustainability is the norm. Our efforts extend beyond commerce; they are about building a community where every member feels valued and every product tells a story.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is not just a concept for us; it’s a way of life. We diligently work to ensure that our practices – from sourcing materials to crafting the final product – are environmentally responsible and socially beneficial. Our commitment to the planet and its people drives us to continuously explore innovative ways to reduce our ecological footprint and enhance the welfare of our community.
