The Tboli community of South Cotabato are known as dreamweavers, where patterns come to life through visions passed down in sleep. Without a written system, their stories and beliefs are preserved in every T’nalak thread—woven from fine abaca, with this plain variant offering a more contemporary expression. In collaboration with Hocus Prints Manila, the fabric is silkscreen printed with Baybayin Ama Namin from the 1593 Doctrina Christiana, bridging indigenous storytelling and pre-colonial script. Available in limited quantities only.
Colors may vary slightly from the photo. Material content may also vary depending on the community that wove the fabric.
