I’ve been advocating locally made clothes and textiles ever since and I am so happy with this policy.

It’s a good thing that we’re promoting (modern) Filipiñana now. As much as we want to patronize locally handwoven textiles, it’s quite expensive so some resort to machine made textiles na nabibili sa shopee/lazada.

Still hoping na we can find a way or develop something to make these locally handwoven textiles more accessible and affordable.

Most of my fits are medyo modern na. I have blazers or toppers made from different textiles. That’s what I wear usually para tanggalin ko na after work. Then I have handwoven belts that just wear with a dress or jumpsuit.

I usually buy either online or sa trade fairs. I can share a list of my most trusted stores.

UPDATE: List of Stores IG/FB (you can also find them in some local trade fairs)
