Why You Should Not Miss HABI Market Fair 2017

There's something about traditional woven products, I would hoard every time I visit Ifugao, Bicol and the Mindanao region. I was only 19 years old when I bought an Ifugao woven wall decor instead of other pasalubong items.

Then I learned about crocheting and wanting to use pure cotton in making throw pillow cases and purses. Are you also interested in weaving? Discover weaves from different parts of the country at the 7th Likhang HABI Market Fair happening this weekend, October 20-22 at the Glorietta Activity Center.

Once again, HABI: The Philippine Textile Council celebrates traditional Filipino who sustain the industry with the the Likhang HABI Market Fair. They are the pioneer in market fair and advocacy for communities in the Filipino Artisan trade highlighting Filipino textile industry.

We were also treated to a sumptuous Traditional Tausug meal.
