Piña Cocoon Silk is a breathable, lightweight textile woven from silk and enriched with authentic pineapple fibers. It offers a smooth drape, gentle texture, and understated sheen. A delicate piña finish evokes the elegance of traditional Filipino weaving.

Unlike typical silk fabrics, ours includes real pineapple fibers—preserving the textile’s cultural character. Whether fully hand-embroidered or finished with complementary techniques, each Barong reflects thoughtful tailoring rooted in heritage.

Piña:

Piña is a heritage textile made entirely from pineapple leaf fibers. Known for its featherlight structure and sheer finish, it carries a natural crispness and soft glow that reflect both tradition and refinement.

Often reserved for heirloom Barongs and formal occasions, piña is prized for its rarity and cultural value. Each piece is crafted with care, honoring generations of skilled Filipino weavers.

Three Fabrics, One Heritage

Our custom Barongs are crafted from three traditional Filipino textiles — Piña, Piña Cocoon, and Piña Cocoon Silk — each chosen for its character, comfort, and cultural richness.

Though Piña Cocoon and Piña Cocoon Silk may look alike once tailored, they differ in feel and movement:
• Piña Cocoon offers a structured hand feel, ideal for defined silhouettes.
• Piña Cocoon Silk drapes softly and shines subtly, thanks to its silk composition.
• Piña, the lightest and most traditional, is fully made from pineapple fibers and valued as an heirloom material.

Our base price includes Barongs made with Piña Cocoon. During your consultation, you’re welcome to explore other fabrics to suit your personal vision.

Each fabric represents a unique thread of Filipino heritage — quietly elegant, naturally refined, and tailored just for you.
