Silk Barong Shirt w/ Binakol Grid Embroidery
The hand-manipulated machine embroidery is inspired by Binakol (binakael, binakul, binakel), a traditional blanket weave design of the Itneg people from Abra in the Cordillera Region of Northern Luzon, Philippines. Mathematically precise, interlocked geometric patterns that result in psychedelic optical illusion is intentionally done to confuse and distract the evil spirits, thus protecting the sleeping souls.
