Kain at Abel
Lunch with Rene always includes a show and tell session with his latest discoveries. These are vintage Abel Iloko blankets produced by weavers in Ilocos Norte.
It’s dangerous to be around these things. I’m not even into fabrics but every time I see the stuff I end up getting more; I feel like I’m selling Manhattan. So now I have some fabulous table runners and I don’t even eat dinner at home.

I love the red, white and blue. :-) Where does one buy them?

Not sure these designs are still being produced, but the Guatlo would know. rene.guatlo@gmail.com.

You can frame some of them and hang them on a wall.
