Product Details

A cotton tubaw head scarf 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 tubaw the Uléw.

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

Wear the 'T'Boli Uléw' Tubaw as a head scarf with the 'T'Boli Luwek' Traditional Malong Skirt (Red) and the T'Boli Beaded Waterfall Choker (Red & Black), as pictured, or add the 'T'Boli' Traditional Scarf (Red) as a matching set.

Please note: the malong, scarf and choker are sold separately.

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