About Manila - Filipino
Craftsmanship |
|
|
Manila is a
city alive
with
Filipino
craftsmanship
and
artistry,
where
centuries-old
traditions
seamlessly
blend with
contemporary
design. This
vibrant
heritage is
vividly
reflected in
Filipiniana
fashion and
handicrafts.
Traditional
garments
like the
baro’t saya
and the
iconic terno
embody deep
cultural
history—
with the
former
dating back
to
pre-colonial
times, and
the latter,
with its
distinctive
butterfly
sleeves,
gaining
prominence
during the
American era
as a symbol
of Filipino
elegance.
The Barong
Tagalog,
crafted from
fine fabrics
like piña—an
exquisite
pineapple
silk— or
jusi and
embroidered
with
indigenous
motifs,
remains a
staple at
formal
occasions
and a proud
expression
of Filipino
identity.
These
fabrics are
celebrated
for their
craftsmanship
and
intricate
embroidery,
showcasing
the skill
and
attention to
detail of
Filipino
artisans.
Exploring
markets such
as
Greenhills
for
handcrafted
jewelry, or
make a quick
stop at the
Lujo
Heritage
booth in the
exhibition
hall for
handcrafted
jewelry
—delicate
filigree
necklaces
inspired by
pre-colonial
designs,
luminous
pearls
sourced from
Filipino
waters, and
accessories
made from
shells,
wood, and
brass, each
telling
stories of
our vibrant
cultural
heritage.
For native
products and
keepsakes,
Kultura at
SM Mall of
Asia (just a
short walk
from the SMX
Convention
Center)
offers a
wide array
of woven
baskets,
wood
carvings,
embroidered
textiles,
and capiz
shell
ornaments—beautiful
reminders of
Filipino
talent
passed down
through
generations.
