ELIRA
HANDMADE CUSTOM LUXURY CRAFTS
"Where your story becomes art, and art becomes your story."
ABOUT US
What does "freedom" mean for you?ELIRA is an Albanian name that means "to be free", and while many have their own definition of what freedom is for them, here, we tell all those stories.ELIRA is a Philippine Handmade Luxury Atelier and Small Business founded in 2022 by Elira Illustre. Here, each piece is personally handcrafted with love, and customized pieces are created with the intention of immortalizing people's lives, ideas, favorites, emotions, and telling their stories along with ours, in the form of functional art.In a fast paced world where artistry is forced to thrive under algorithms, and the value of works is measured by the number of likes and views in their posts, where art is stolen and yet extremely devalued for a few seconds of entertainment, where people glorify AI more than the real people of whose ideas made it possible, here, we bring to life real artistry and unlimited imagination, creating things that reflect the creator and amplify the people whose stories make up the creations.Here, you have the freedom to tell your stories, your way.When these creations inevitably outlive us in the future, may it be a legacy, an immortalization of not only the artisan, but of the people who these pieces were made for. A reminder of our existence, of the lives we once lived, our memories, the things we loved, and the stories we once told. A reminder we were once human. That we once walked this earth, thinking and being. That we once made real connections, talked about our aspirations, and tried bringing to life our dreams."Where your story becomes art, and art becomes your story."
