TBoli Tnalak & Malong Half Loop Earrings

Statement earrings that pair a piece of T'nalak, the abaca cloth of the T'Boli people, with a bright cotton plaid, the kind of cloth used across Mindanao for the malong and the patadyong. Handmade by T'Boli artisans of Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, Mindanao.

The earrings are large but very light, so you can wear them all day.

Every piece comes from Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, Mindanao, home of the T'Boli people. Your purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for community artisans and helps keep a handmade heritage alive.

The T'nalak in this piece belongs to the T'Boli people and carries deep meaning for the community that weaves it. The plaid is a cotton pattern worn across Mindanao and is not a design specific to the T'Boli people. Please wear this piece with respect and appreciation.

Complete The Look

Wear it with a barong, a Filipiniana bolero or a plain top to let the handwork stand out, or pair it with our T'Boli malong and hand-beaded jacket for a head-to-toe Lake Sebu look.

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