She wanted to make the same dresses her grandmother hand smocked and sewed for her when she was a child. Today, Ines Moda Infantil has become a household name in the world of exquisitely hand-smocked children's clothes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Our company has grown over the past decades as we continue to stay true to our history, heritage and niche.

Through time, this is still what the company aims to do – to help women and provide jobs. This is also what Ines wants to continue and expand as she takes over the business. Such a great cause that the company plans to continue in the coming years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Community\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday each garment produced tells the story of once housewives, now empowered breadwinners of their families who meticulously hand-craft each Ines Moda Infantil masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChallenges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAny business, big or small, has a lot challenges to face and conquer. For Ines, there have been 2 distinct challenges the company faced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst is the financial crisis in The US. Their sales took a dip that’s why they decided to grow their retail business here in the Philippines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSecond is the rise of new technology.As Ines puts it, “The business is somehow threatened with the cheap labor in other parts of the world, as well as the refinement of machines that can do smocking. We remain steadfast not only to our mission to take care of the women who have made a career out of hand smocking, but also to retain the fine quality of our garments. All the smocking you see on each garment, is done meticulously by hand. It still makes a difference.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReliquia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReliquia \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis the sister brand of Ines Moda Infantil (offers ready to wear girls and boys clothes) that caters to made-to-order special occasion garments for flower girls and ring bearers, First Communion dresses and Christening gowns and rompers, and customized dresses for birthdays and any special occasion. They also offer personalization on these garments by hand-embroidered monogramming.
