Dulce & Bloom is a small handmade craft business located in Barangay Rizal, Sagay City. It began as a simple and heartfelt hobby that later grew into a meaningful small business. The owner started crafting as a way to relieve stress and pass time, creating handmade pieces as gifts for her nieces to reward their good performance in school. What started as curiosity, mixing colors, shaping wires, and cutting ribbons,eventually developed into a passion worth pursuing.
The business officially began during Teachers’ Day, when the owner decided to sell her handmade creations. Since then, Dulce & Bloom has offered a variety of products such as bouquets (single, medium, and large), potted flowers, pen holders, hair clips, and Christmas trees. These handmade items are affordably priced, ranging from ₱35 to ₱175, making them accessible and meaningful gift options for students, teachers, friends, and loved ones. For the owner, crafting became a safe space during overwhelming times, with each piece made patiently and with intention, reflecting the belief that handmade creations carry a soul.
Dulce & Bloom draws inspiration from nature, colors, and continuous learning through tutorials and hands-on practice. The owner has grown to love the process of twisting wires, shaping ribbons, and carefully assembling materials into pieces that can brighten someone’s desk, room, or day. More than simple decorations, the crafts are designed to express warmth, effort, and the beauty of handmade work.
Beyond creativity, the business also serves as a meaningful way for the owner to stay productive while seeking employment. She is a graduate of Fisheries and a Civil Service Professional Passer. While waiting for the right career opportunity, Dulce & Bloom allows her to support herself and help provide for her family, showing that small beginnings can still lead to meaningful progress.
We chose Dulce & Bloom as our business partner because its story reflects creativity, perseverance, and faith. Despite the challenges of the competitive handmade industry, the owner remains committed to growing her craft. Through hard work, perseverance, and gratitude to the Heavenly Father for constant guidance, her creations have begun to gain recognition and appreciation. Supporting Dulce & Bloom means supporting a small business built with heart, one that continues to grow, learn, and bring genuine smiles through handmade pieces.
