About Us
In 1986, Trident International Trading Corporation launched a series of boat
shoes under the Swatch Seasider label, and it immediately made an impact in the course of Philippine shoe manufacturing history. Based in Marikina City––the shoe capital of the Philippines—Swatch Seasider charted a course that took it to where it is today, undoubtedly one of the premier label for men’s casual footwear in the country.
Under the leadership of its founders and designers, Trident International grew from a 5-man operation into a network of more than 200 skilled artisans, craftsmen, and patternmakers housed in three fully-equipped buildings and factories in Marikina City. Today, Trident International hand-crafts anywhere between 500 to 800 pairs of shoes daily under its banner label—Swatch Seasider.
