Why We Exist

For us at Seashell Supplies Philippines, everything begins with a simple mission: create dignified income for underprivileged coastal families across the Philippines. Since 1974, we’ve helped parents and community artisans earn through seashell collection and cleaning— turning small, steady work into real opportunity.

Our Journey

What began as a tiny venture with no staff and little capital has grown into a trusted wholesale supplier serving makers and brands worldwide. Today, we’re proud to be one of Luzon–Manila’s largest and most reliable seashell sources—built on consistency, fair partnerships, and quality.

Doing It Right (Permits & Compliance)

Exporting even a single shell requires careful compliance. We work closely with authorities to secure permits, certifications, and documentation that prove ethical, legal sourcing. The process is demanding— and we embrace it—because it protects the ocean and the communities who depend on it.

Empowering Coastal Communities

We partner directly with hardworking families and small subcontractors across the country:

• Metro Manila — operations hub connecting provincial goods to local & international clients.
• Bicol — coastal villages supplying beautiful shells; many families rely on this work.
• Pangasinan — unique species and supplemental income for fishermen’s households.
• Cebu — strong maritime culture; community artisans in collection and cleaning.

Each shell we ship represents real hands and honest effort. We make sure that care shows in every order.

Commitment to Sustainability

All shells are responsibly harvested in line with Philippine environmental laws. We coordinate with environmental agencies (e.g., BFAR) for the required permits so that marine ecosystems remain healthy and coastal resources thrive for future generations. Protecting nature and empowering people go hand-in-hand.

Join the Journey

Every order—big or small—directly supports coastal families. When you choose us, you help create steady livelihood where it matters most. Every shell helps a family thrive.
