about us

We are a Swiss–Filipino family living in St. Gallen. Like many kabayans, we were unable to go home during the Covid 2019/2020 period. Being far from family and home made us miss the Philippines even more—the food, the culture, and the feeling of being close to where our hearts belong.

Out of that longing, kabayancorner.ch was born. What started as a way to feel closer to home became an online shop where we can share a piece of the Philippines with fellow Filipinos and friends abroad.

We offer daily essentials, traditional Philippine garments such as the Philippine bolero, Filipiniana, and barong, as well as handwoven bags and handmade fashion jewelry made from coconut shells, shells, and capiz.

Every item is thoughtfully sourced from the Philippines—each one carrying a story, a memory, and a touch of home. 🇵🇭❤️
