Wait Clothing Founders, Joboy Dejan and Jose Bagnes // On Patience x Perspective, Thriving in Times of Pandemic, and Aspirations for the Laguna community.

On this istambay session, we had a conversation with two young entrepreneur who have an interesting story about how they started their brand; two people coming from different avenues, genres, and interests, but still decided to collaborate with their ideas and create a material and community that values that philosophy of Patience and Respecting Time. The Founders of Wait Clothing (@waitclothing), Joboy Dejan and Jose Bagnes! Joboy, Jose, and I talked about a lot of goodies! We talked about how a person's life experiences may contribute on the goals or crafts they are building up. They also talked about the process of how they've come up with their designs, the inspirations where they are grounded, and the hobbies they are passionate about other than Wait Clothing. One of the fascinating ideas that both the three of us shared is the idea of bringing like-minded people together, and how art, designs, music, and crafts can be a new grounds for conversations and a material as provocateur. How they established a brand and what are its history; and even how did they've come up with their name, the brands philosophy, the struggles and learnings they've encountered along the process. As one of the many businesses that are thriving in this challenging times due to the pandemic, we talked about how they harness themselves and choice to progress even with bigger conflicts at present; and what they do look forward on the coming days/years for themselves, their brand, and the community of Laguna that they are aspiring to bring on to the larger audiences. This episode was directed and produced in partnership with Sloppy Heads Studios (@sloppyheadstudio), watchout for the documentary that they will publish! Note: We recorded the audio on the store of Wait Clothing, located at 215 National Highway Paciano Rizal Calamba, that's why you will hear some vehicle and active road sounds. Thank you so much!
