We’re posting some of WUTHLE products available now, but it’s not a guarantee that it will still be available when you order for it. There are other designs too. Their products are fast selling locally; and tourists buy more as souvenirs when they visit the WUTHLE CENTER.

Product prices ranges from ₱350.00 up to ₱2000.

The story of WUHTLE (Women United Through Handcrafted Lace and Embroidery) traces its origins to the 1980s, inside the Western Visayas Sanitarium in Santa Barbara. It began with a simple gesture: the daughter of a patient handed a delicately embroidered handkerchief to a Belgian missionary, Sister Madeleine Dieryck, who was then working with people affected by leprosy.
