PRESERVING THE INABEL MASTERPIECE OF NANA MAGDALENA GAMAYO
Inabel represents the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Ilocos region in the Philippines, allowing future generations to connect with and appreciate their cultural roots. Made from carefully harvested and dyed cotton yarn, the weaving process creates beautiful designs that reflect centuries of passed-down knowledge and skills. Preserving Inabel supports local economies and artisans, providing livelihoods for many weavers like the renowned Magdalena Gamayo. This traditional craft also promotes sustainable and eco-friendly practices, using natural materials and techniques. Each piece of Inabel fabric is a unique work of art, maintaining artistic diversity and contributing to the world’s cultural textiles. By preserving Inabel, we honor and sustain a vital cultural legacy.
