THE INE (US$ x.xx)


Product Description:

Like any other traditional clothes of Bagobos, the Ine, is worn only during feasts. Ine, meaning "mother" is a narrow panel of tie dyed abaca fabric. Its center panel is sewn with a brown motif at the middle in earth tones like russet or burnt sienna.

Ine is perfect as wall hanging decoration and table adornment.

The Bagobos weave their fabric into longitudinal stripe with geometric designs representing nature and human beings. Their motifs, spaces and symmetries are recalled only from memory. They weave their fabric using the traditional loom made of bamboo and polish it with stones and shells to bring out a special luster and softness. Most of their tie dyed attire are made of abaca.
