The Xander Pratt Collection has reopened its doors with Gaya in Siargao, Philippines, bringing a fresh blend of fashion, art, and global craftsmanship. More than just a boutique, With the synergy of 2 worlds, this has transformed Lexias Coworking Space and Hostel into a portal through a world where creativity meets culture—a curated collection of pieces that tell a story.


Merging African textiles with Asian influences, it offers wearable art for free spirits who see fashion as an extension of their identity. Known for his Afro Kimono Collection, Pratt envisions XP Store as more than just retail—“Every piece here carries a story, it is a connection between past, present, and future,” he shares. This collection is a celebration of African heritage blended with modern design, offering bold and luxurious garments that embody cultural storytelling.
