Color

The HERITAGE L/S Mockneck Shirt is garment dyed in bago's primary color palette, which is inspired by the earthy tones found within the provinces of the Philippines. The design details of the split hem and overhanging sleeve cuff are subtle references to the Barong Tagalog. In support of reducing fashion waste, the Binakol textile patch is upcycled from remnant textile too small to be used on its own for other garments. Its subdued placement on the Mockneck Shirt gives way to the signature bago relaxed fit, while still proudly showcasing Filipino weaving heritage.

Model is 5'2" and wearing a size XS.

PARTNERS
bago operates in an ethical, slow fashion model. All of our garments are made in Los Angeles. We work with ANTHILL Fabrics to ethically source handwoven textiles directly from weaving communities in the Philippines. 

HISTORY
Binakol textile is indigenous to the Ilocanos and Itneg communities of Ilocos and the Cordillera region. The weavers keep track of the complex geometric patterns of squares and rectangles completely in their minds without a manual or guide.

Dating all the way back to the 1400s, the Binakol is traditionally a ceremonial cloth used for protection as the optical illusion of the pattern is said to create a dizzying effect that drives away evil spirits. This particular pattern is known as kusikus, designed to resemble swirling, circular whirlpool vortices in the ocean.
