By Dr. Randy M. Madrid
Published by HABI The Philippine Textile Council and Far Eastern University, 2023.
This new book acknowledges the place of piña—the textile and the craft—in Philippine culture through its long history and its trajectory into the future. Authored by Dr. Randy M. Madrid, a passionate mover for the preservation of our national textile heritage, the book leads up to potential developments for the next generations. Many excellent full color photographs—both archival and current—are featured in the book but of course these do not replace the experience of actually touching the treasure that piña cloth is.
Piña Futures: Weaving Memories and Innovations is the fourth book in HABI’s publication series of books on Philippine weaving.
HABI: The Philippine Textile Council is one of the pioneering nonprofit organizations in the Philippines that focuses its efforts towards the preservation of our local Philippine weaving heritage. Read more about their advocacy here.
The HABI series includes:
Please see additional size and fit information on each garment description as sizes may vary between makers.
Fits may vary by style or personal preference; sizes may vary by manufacturer. Depending on the characteristics of the fabrics used, there could be a sizing variation of ½ inch. Most Filipiniana garments have no stretch in the fabrics. Size up if you'd like a fit with more ease.
MEASURING TIPS
• Wear similar undergarments (bra, camisole, slip, thin undershirt) as you would wear under the blouse/dress/barong while measuring.
• Have a friend or partner take the measurements (or a local tailor!)
• Keep the measuring tape snug but not tight, with the tape parallel to the floor for hip, waist, and chest measurements.
