Woven
I’m always looking for a lightweight bag that will carry all my stuff without tearing off my shoulder. Here’s one I found at the Likhang-Habi Philippine textile bazaar at RCBC Building last Friday:
You can wear it like a vest or put it over your shoulder.
My friend Rene found this for me: a pre-WWII vintage “Binakol” woven blanket. It’s beautiful and practically indestructible, and if you stare at it long enough you see visions. My cats took to it instantly.
If you’re interested in fabrics, linens, blankets, and other materials woven the traditional way, Rene represents the weavers’ cooperatives in Ilocos Norte and can help you source them. His email address: rene.guatlo@gmail.com.
