Kandama
Ifugao Woven Women Suit
₱10,000

When we're asked to dress in cultural nights, most of the time, we're more likely to wear either barong and baro't saya or Filipiniana. Sometimes, I wonder why the representation of the Filipino identity is usually always from the Spanish colonization era. 

We have over 100 ethnolinguistic groups from all over the 7,641 islands in our country, and I think our indigenous peoples need more spotlight on their arts and craftmanship. 

When I discovered Kandama's custom-tailored suits made from indigenous fabrics from Ifugao, I was more than thrilled to try on their pieces! They make neat, elegant and flattering suits, and I love how the design gives an illusion of taller height.

I always contact them whenever I have talks, events, or even weddings to attend to! You'll also be glad to know that some of their pieces can be rented out for as low as Php 2,000!
