Each is one of a kind
Beautiful handmade tingkop from Palawan, Philippines. Made by basketmakers that carry the breadth of their history and cosmology - all held together by the handwoven strips of a basket known as tingkop.
The tingkop also wields a significant role in ritual use. Small tingkops carrying amulets are worn by Pala’wan hunters around their neck to attract success in their hunts. It is also used in rituals to call upon spirits, for the Pala’wan believe that only smaller tingkop can contain the spirits’ strength.

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.
