An innovative blend developed by ANTHILL in collaboration with Hablon ni Lauriana, this fabric modernizes Argao’s ancestral habol tradition by intertwining stiff abaca fibers with soft polyester thread. This unique Polyhemp structure renders raw abaca exceptionally soft and wearable without losing its iconic texture. Arranged in clean, rhythmic stripes, this weave symbolizes a continuous, forward-moving narrative of Cebuano heritage. It honours the protective warmth of the traditional habol while reimagining centuries of pre-colonial craftsmanship into a contemporary, comfortable textile for daily wear.
Colors may vary slightly from the photo. Material content may also vary depending on the community that wove the fabric.
