The Bagobo are known for their extravagant clothing, heavily embroidered with beads and to which tiny brass bells are attached and jingle with every movement. When travelling far to a festivity, they would stop in the jungle just to change out of their everyday clothes to luxurious and costly costumes.
Salinta Moon was known as the last Bagobo weaver. Our pieces in the collection are designed by her daughter and granddaughter.
