The GF Emporium Story

Making Filipino Art a Part of Everyday Life
If you’ve ever strolled through an art gallery and wished you could take a piece of that inspiration home—or better yet, wear it on your sleeve—you’re in good company. That’s the spark that started GF Emporium, the merchandise arm of Galerie Francesca, and the heart of our story.

Art for Everyone, Everywhere

For years, Galerie Francesca has been home to some of the country’s most celebrated artists, showcasing masterpieces that capture the Filipino spirit. But as we spent more time with our community, we noticed something: a new wave of art lovers was emerging. They were younger, adventurous, and hungry for something different.
These new collectors wanted art that fit their lifestyles—something they could wear, use, and share, not just admire from afar. We realized that, while fine art will always have its place, it shouldn’t be reserved for a select few. Art is for everyone, and it should be as dynamic and accessible as the people who love it.

From Gallery Walls to Daily Life

And so, GF Emporium was born. Our mission? To bridge the gap between fine art and everyday life by transforming original Filipino artworks into wearable, functional, and collectible pieces. We’re talking about statement tees featuring bold brushstrokes, elegant scarves inspired by local landscapes, and practical totes that double as conversation starters.
Every item in our collection is designed in collaboration with Filipino artists, ensuring that each piece carries a story—one you can wear, gift, or display with pride.

Proudly Championing Filipino Art

We’re not just about pretty things (though, let’s be honest, we love those too!). At our core, we’re champions of Filipino creativity. By making art more relatable and accessible, we’re helping to nurture a new generation of collectors and supporters. We want more people to feel the thrill of owning a piece of art, whether it’s a limited-edition print or a tote bag that brightens up your daily commute.

A Community of Art Lovers

What truly sets GF Emporium apart is our community. Our customers are city dwellers and corporate go-getters, first-time art buyers and seasoned collectors, all united by a love for Filipino artistry. Whether you’re dropping by our pop-up shops, browsing our online store, or following along on Instagram, you’re part of our mission to celebrate and support local artists.

Looking Ahead

As we grow, our vision stays the same: to make Filipino art a part of every Filipino’s life. This quarter, we’re gearing up for our biggest holiday pop-up road trip yet and developing a new merchandise line just in time for the Christmas season. We can’t wait to bring more art into your world—one wearable masterpiece at a time.
So, whether you’re looking for a unique gift, a statement piece, or just a new way to experience art, you’re always welcome at GF Emporium. After all, art is best enjoyed together.
