Vinta Inks, crafted in the Philippines, celebrate the nation’s vibrant culture and history through thoughtfully named collections and expertly formulated inks. Each blend is created using high quality ingredients, reflecting both artistry and storytelling in every bottle.
Archives from the Metro is a tribute to the quiet, fleeting stories of city life, from familiar streets to passing moments that linger in memory. Inspired by the textures, rhythm, and pulse of Manila’s urban landscape, each ink in this 15ml collection captures a fragment of the metro as both a place and an experience. Together, they form a living archive, deeply personal yet universally familiar, inviting you to document your own story, one line at a time.
Matinee Rose draws inspiration from 1989 Roxas Boulevard, a time when the “Queen of Avenues” stood at the crossroads of change. As the decade came to a close, the boulevard remained Manila’s premier sunset theater, where sea breeze, fading light, and quiet nostalgia filled the air. This ink reflects the weathered terracotta of the seawall and the soft elegance of “Old Rose” velvet seats in grand movie palaces, where afternoon matinees offered a cool escape from the city’s heat.
Evoking vintage lipstick pressed onto a cocktail napkin at the Aristocrat, this shade carries a hazy, romantic mood with a touch of melancholy. The dusty, sun drenched rose red base deepens into a soft coppery bronze sheen in heavier pools, creating a warm, nostalgic finish that lingers on the page.
Vinta stands firm in the belief that education holds the key to reducing poverty. With every bottle purchased, a portion is donated to support educational initiatives in the Philippines, helping build a brighter future, one story at a time.
