Traditional Piña Barong Tagalog — Calado Hand Embroidery Craft
This Barong Tagalog is custom-made from pure handwoven piña, the most refined pineapple fiber used in Filipino formalwear. Each detail is finished by hand using calado embroidery — a heritage technique combining thread pulling, cutting, and precise stitching to form lace-like geometric patterns. The translucent piña fabric provides breathability while maintaining structure and definition.
Crafted in the Philippines, this handcrafted Barong embodies the country’s textile legacy and meticulous craftsmanship. The artistry of calado reflects traditions rooted in the islands’ weaving culture — explored in our feature Philippine Textiles: A Rich Tapestry of Culture and Craftsmanship. Perfect for weddings and formal occasions, it represents cultural heritage and artisanal precision in every stitch.
