The Kalesa is a traditional two-wheel horse-drawn carriage unique to the island country of the Philippines. Once a primary mode of transport for the wealthy and elite, the kalesa is now mostly seen in historical areas and tourist destinations, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the country’s colonial past. Despite its decline in use, it is still considered a cherished cultural symbol that embodies the resilience and adaptability of Filipino traditions amidst modernization. This collection is an ode to the history of long ago but never forgotten.
