Hi!
Lincoln
Best Boy
Meet Lincoln! He’s the inspiration behind our mascot, and the sweetest Formosan Mountain Dog who ever was. Although he’s no longer with us, he lives on through our mascot and the spirit of our brand. To us, he represents personal connection and the meaning you can impart upon a person, place or thing.
Our mission is to bring clothing we care about to people who share the same curiosity and appreciation for it. Whether a garment is new or old, we hope you can enjoy the details, craftsmanship, and stories behind it as much as we do.

My story starts at a young age. I’ve always been drawn to clothing and the culture surrounding it. Like many, starting from Jordans and streetwear early on, to raw denim and boots. Over time, I became more aware of my personal style, the things I collect, and the value of owning items that feel meaningful. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized I want the things I own to last. Items made with quality, craftsmanship, and longevity in mind.
Bundok was born from my obsession with finding the right pair of boots and a growing connection to my heritage. For those unfamiliar, “bundok” means “mountain” in Tagalog. During WWII, American soldiers referred to their boots as “Boondockers,” inspired by the mountains they trekked through in the Philippines.
My mission is to share these interests and obsessions with others who value craftsmanship, history, and things built to stand the test of time. Beyond clothing, I want Bundok to be a community and a place of knowledge. Somewhere people can learn about the history behind the garments we wear and the stories carried through words like “Bundok.”

Tyler invited me to join because he knows I share in his passion for clothing with a human connection. I strongly feel that we, as people, should be buying clothing not just for aesthetics, but because of the story and legacy behind them. Our fashion landscape is full of fast fashion products that exist to last only as long as the latest fad. We want to bring the opposite: enduring items that can be repaired and enjoyed for a lifetime. And maybe even more importantly, clothing that you will become attached to and want to keep for a lifetime.
My hope is that when browsing our site, you’ll enjoy how things appear on the page and imagine how they might look on you. Then, once you actually hold, wear, and feel the clothing, you’ll become attached. As you accumulate scars, repairs, and patina, you may even love them more than you started. We want the emotional durability to be just as good as the physical durability, because in the end, we are consumers of meaning, not matter.

Photographer
Growing up, I was the quiet one out of my four siblings. So when it came to expressing myself, I used art as an outlet. Out of the different artistic mediums- canvas painting, graffiti art, airbrushing, photography has been the one thing that I was always attracted to. It’s no mystery as to why. I was always exposed to cameras and even received my first Fisher Price film camera on my 7th birthday. My mom would always take pictures of us in our makeshift studio and record nostalgic home videos on an old Sony hi-8 camera. I wanted to do what my mom did, which was to create memories to look back on. I was so fascinated by the idea of this and throughout high school and college, my passion for capturing memories had kept growing. After shooting and delivering my first wedding of a friend, it was a feeling that felt truly fulfilling which to this day, I still urge for.
