said quietly

Capiz-shell buttons

heightening the depth with a controlled luminosity

irregular tracery rather than a flat applied trim

crossed by black plaid lines — a restrained grid that steadies the body

Mabaya Piña Barong Fabric:Piña said quietlyA cropped barong, in black and silver. Pia hand dyed to a deep black, cut cropped and close, worn above the traditional length. The banana flower is worked across the front in silver and gray tones a motif the house keeps for abundance with black capiz beadwork along the placket. The pattern catches light where the cloth stays matte. Lined throughout, so it reads either way over an undershirt or on its own. Design Notes Pia, hand dyed Black Obsidian
