Linea Etnika

Himaya Top

₱3,500

The Yakan primarily came from Basilan, but because of the political and war conflict in the 1970s, they had to relocate to Zamboanga. To help the community develop their livelihood, preserve and promote the traditional craft, this brand works with the communities in Zamboanga. 


May it be casual or formal wear, there is a kind of weave fit for any kind of occasion, and I really feel happy about having at least a piece that I can wear to show how chic traditional weaves could be!

When I feel lazy to think about layering, and mixing and matching clothes, this is my go-to top with Yakan weave. All I need is a pair of jeans, shoes that go with my mood for the day, and a ponytail to complete the look. 


I think that this top is perfect for the empowered modern Filipina. It exudes power and confidenceーready to take on whatever challenge may come her way.
