What makes J&L stand out that you can really consider to buy their products is the utmost fact that their products are all environmental-friendly and handcarfted made from fibers of Water Lily.
The water lily in Pasig river, and its huge number and aggressive invasion, has always been the reason why the river ways of Las Piñas and Pasig is blocking the water flows and continuously contributes to the solid waste. Fishing and disposing them elsewhere from the river has been their only temporary solution. Until they thought of a sustainable solution to turn natural waste into marketable goods.
