Comments on: Gorgeous Hand-Woven Table Runners from Balay ni Atong https://www.marketmanila.com/archives/gorgeous-hand-woven-table-runners-from-balay-ni-atong A food blog that talks about food, produce, recipes, ingredients, restaurants and markets here in the Philippines and around the globe. Sat, 10 Sep 2016 11:38:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: udo gangl https://www.marketmanila.com/archives/gorgeous-hand-woven-table-runners-from-balay-ni-atong#comment-704614 Sat, 10 Sep 2016 11:38:32 +0000 http://www.marketmanila.com/?p=39836#comment-704614 These kind of textiles were traditionally made by the Bontoc and called “binakol (owes)”. Simply put that word into google search – pictures and you will see various types. There is also a very good book about Philippine (tribal) textiles “sinaunang habi by Marian Pastor-Roces about Philippine Ancestral weaves; 1991”

Unfortunately the website is a bit hard to manage and doesn´t work propery (for me) as i would love to buy a bunch of these tablerunners and else for my shop…

Is it washable MM? I love Philippine handicrafts but think twice about purchasing when I think about how good it stands up to maintenance.

I eventually went around and spent time at the Balay ni Atong booth. His products are beautiful and tastefully done; and it is really interesting talking to him, too! The Maarte Fair has select vendors, and I like that it benefits the MFP.

I just heard my first Christmas song on the radio this morning!

Maybe someday we will learn how best to market our handicrafts & local products and captivate buyers beyond our shores in a more sustainable manner.
