Roxanne Ang-Farillas
Nature of Business:
Women’s apparel
Company/Business name:
Plains and Prints
History/Business start-up:
The Plains and Prints shop opened in Shoppesville, Greenhills in 1994
founded by an 18-year-old Roxanne Ang. As a young college student, Roxanne started
selling clothes in school. “I would bring a duffel bag and inside would be clothes and I
would sell them to my classmates.” She had always considered herself a creative
person, and she was always interested in fashion. In fact, she shares that what she sold
in college were actually made by her and her mananahi. She would buy fabrics from
Makati during her free time, as it was near La Salle, where she studied, and go from
there. Roxanne was a finance student, but her true love was fashion. It's a well-
documented fact that Roxanne, then a finance student, was 20 years old when she was
offered a place to sell her wares. This was in 1994, long before social media could
easily launch a business and gain thousands of followers. Roxanne Ang eventually
married Erickson Farillas, the man who gave her clothing business. They were set in
making it on their own and their partnership proved to be fruitful. It took about P150,000
for her to start what’s today known as one of the biggest fashion brands in the country.
That included rent already, security deposit, and of course, the stocks. From that 11-
square meter area, Plains & Prints managed to get store space in Robinson’s
Department Store.Then we got Greenbelt Shopping Plaza. Then we opened another
Greenhills store. And as the brand celebrates its 25th year, the rest, as they say, is
history.

Since then Laurel's business has expanded from couture to include staff uniforms for
casinos, resorts and hotels. The Rajo Laurel Group of Companies brought in US$1.7
million in revenue in 2014.

The boutique offers both couture as well as ready-to-wear apparel. "Made-to-order
couture" is what Laurel prefers to call his couture line.
Each piece is referred to as a "mission" dress that is designed to create a lasting
impression, although is worn probably once or twice in a lifetime. "Designer Ready-to-
Wear" is how he describes his off-the-rack line.
