Inabel Hand Towels

Inabel is a traditional woven textile from the Ilocos region, and these hand towels from Bangar, La Union carry the work of women weavers who have kept this craft alive across generations. Each towel is woven on a loom using techniques that predate industrial production.

The weaving process is slow and deliberate: cotton threads are arranged on the loom, patterns are set by hand, and each pass of the shuttle builds the fabric row by row. The resulting textile is durable, absorbent, and marked by the subtle variations that only handwork can produce.

An Inabel hand towel is both practical and storied - a piece of Ilocano heritage that connects the recipient to the weavers of La Union and the living tradition of Philippine textile arts.
