About SNK ATK® Design Lab | Technical And Experimental Clothing
Designed for the future. Made by humans.
SNK ATK® Design Lab (the disemvoweled form for 'Sneak Attack') is a design studio based in Manila, Philippines. We make technical and experimental clothing and concepts.
The People
SNK ATK® started as a pipe dream for three outsiders who came from design, advertising, and tech. We asked a question, "How hard could it be?" Years later, the answer is still "Very hard."
The Studio
Every piece that carries the SNK ATK® name is designed and made in small batches at our studio in Manila. Small-batch production means every seam, every stitch, every zipper pull, every panel is given the attention it deserves.
The Design Process
Our patterns are designed, draped, and stress-tested in 3D space before a single piece of fabric is cut. By designing in the digital first, we're able to optimize every pattern, minimizing offcuts, reducing fabric wastage, and making more responsible use of the limited materials we source.
The Materials
Making garments in small batches comes with limitations. We choose fabrics selectively for their properties and their use in operating environments, whether it's for travel, commute, weather protection, or casual wear.
The Connections
Our design language draws from different inspirations such as Japanese workwear, classic outerwear - reinterpreted through a technical lens. The result is garments that feel familiar but function differently: updated with modern materials, contemporary cuts, and the kind of versatility that moves between environments.
We believe clothing carries culture. That's why collaboration is central to what we do.
We've worked with illustrators, musicians, and creative studios whose work we genuinely respect — including artist Jethro Olba, musician Alisson Shore, and brands like Nissan Philippines, Secret Fresh, TWP, and M56/Studio.
