A Wind of Tradition Like a thief in the night that disturbs my deep sleep, Modernization is slowly eradicating the things that make the Filipinos unique. Like a wave of the havoc that turns my dreams into nightmares, We're slowly turning our back on our cultural heritage, and we're not even aware. Reviving traditional arts and crafts like Philippine weaving It is like a mistful dew of morn that defines a fresh beginning! Colorful indigenous fabric and threads that show so much creativity, Paired with our contemporary styles, ideas, and artistry.
All these ravishing patterns handmade by our very own Filipino weavers, Gives me unspeakable splendor that paints a rainbow in my vast gloomy heavens. Just like the harmonious music played by the fairies in daffodils, Festive displays of indigenous tapestry, beads, and even grass are now seen in modern styles and designs! Combining tradition and modernity through the art of indigenous weaving, Brings ethnic colors and patterns into the spotlight and obviates Filipino heritage from fading. Incorporating traditional Filipino weaves with our modern-day clothing, Is an act of honor and respect to our tradition that we are showing.
