Little School Girl No More

We love long necklaces and cuffs. On this set we featured our Nagapwa Long Necklace. What makes this necklace special is the story behind this handwoven cloth- ABEL with history dating back to the Spanish Era. This cloth is sourced from one of the regions in the Philippines known for making Abel.

Inabel in Long Necklaces

We having been toying around with indigenous materials. One of the recurring materials in some of our collections is the Inabel or commonly known as Abel, handwoven fabric made by the Ilocanos. 

We chose to name this piece “Nagapwa”,  an Ilokano word which in English, roughly translates to “where one came from". We opted to incorporate Inabel fabric, something deeply ingrained to the Ilocos province's native culture, and added seed beads to complete the necklace.  It's a pretty piece that falls on one's figure opera style, and contrary to how it looks, it's lighter than you think. You can pair it with just about anything, for it was designed to be fashionable and practical at the same time. Truth be told, it's one of our favorite pieces and count on us to make more!
