Barong Materials

The very nice material of my husband’s and the male entourage’s barong came all the way from Kalibo, Aklan. The material mede of pure piña fiber was hand-embroidered and made from the fiber plant in Numancia, Aklan. I learned that some (if not most) of the barong materials being embroidered in Lucban, Quezon come from Numancia, Aklan. The materials we got was a lot cheaper then those from Lucban. It just so happened that our province is near Aklan so it was not a problem sourcing the materials.
