From the earth, raw cotton bolls are sun-cured and hand-harvested. From the forest, dye plants — leaves, bark, and roots — are gathered and prepared into natural color baths using methods passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing synthetic enters this process. Nothing is rushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough our collaboration with AFTIIC from Abra, every step of this collection is rooted in regenerative practice and fair compensation — from the farmers and researchers, to the master loom maker, master \u003cem\u003esulud\u003c\/em\u003e maker, master warper, and the Maguindanaon master weavers who bring it all together on the handloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you find in this collection are not simply textiles. They are the result of months of growing, preparing, dyeing, warping, and weaving — each piece a seamless, unbroken expression of Maguindanaon craft, built on a design tradition dating back to \u003cstrong\u003e1887\u003c\/strong\u003e and possibly even earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLupa't Habi is slow fashion in its truest form — honoring the timeline of the earth, the knowledge of the artisan, and the integrity of the weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural fibers.

Local dye plants — leaves, bark, and roots — are harvested and prepared into natural vats using organic methods passed down through generations. Raw cotton bolls are eco-boiled to open their pores, then dyed naturally before being hand-reeled and spooled for warping. Nothing synthetic.
