HISTORY

A group of friends decided to make a business using their old shoes. Ken Colline de Guzman, the present owner of “Ethos“ started this business because she has no money and she thought that It would be a great idea to use their old shoes to gain profit and  start a business, but when the business was making more than they thought it would, they started to continue it and expand the business to generate more income. After a lot of thinking, “ethos” was born. The word “ethos” is a derived from a Greek god, which means the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations, which made it a suitable name for this business.
