Product Details

A cotton malong in a red Mindanao plaid, made by members of the T'Boli community of Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines. The T'Boli call the malong the Luwek.

Mindanao is famous for its malongs, and every community has its own way of wearing it. The malong is a multi-functional piece: wear it as a wrap skirt, a dress or outerwear, and at home it doubles as a blanket, change room, baby sling or hammock.

A note on the cloth: this plaid is a cotton pattern worn across Mindanao. It is not T'nalak, and it is not a design specific to Lake Sebu or the T'Boli people. What makes this piece special is who made it: your purchase supports the livelihoods of artisans in Lake Sebu.

Complete The Look

Style the 'T'Boli Luwek' Malong as a matching set with the 'T'Boli Uléw' Traditional Tubaw Head Scarf (Red) worn as a head scarf and the T'Boli Beaded Waterfall Choker (Red & Black), as pictured, or add the 'T'Boli' Traditional Scarf (Red). Tie it long as a wrap skirt, or knot it at the hip for a shorter look, pictured with the T'Boli Beaded Waterfall Choker (Black & Shell).

Please note: the tubaw, scarf and chokers are sold separately.

Made in the Philippines. Ships to the USA and worldwide.
