Tsinilas Clothing Company (pronounced "chee-NEH-las") is a Filipino-based clothing company. Officially launched in the summer of 2000 by Varick Rosete and Ken Panganiban, Tsinilas Clothing Company offers products that showcase a mix of attitude, humor, and stream-of-consciousness not commonly found in other companies. Unique is definitely the word as Tsinilas Clothing Company strives to keep their designs on the cutting edge of casual wear. And it all started with a little sketch known as the "Tsinilas with Teeth" design.
But what exactly is a "tsinilas?"
Tsinilas is what Filipinos call their slippers, much like "flip-flops." The mere mention of tsinilas is immediately associated with being Filipino. Filipinos practically wear their tsinilas to do anything and everything. We walk in them, we run in them, and we even play basketball in them! And we send many a spider and cockroach to insect heaven with them. Tsinilas are raw, all-natural, and showcase a tinge of attitude. So what greater way to start the company than with this attitude? Tsinilas Clothing Company is headstrong, hungry and ready to break into the mainstream.
Prepare yourself...because you're about to GET SPANKED!
