PARTNERS
bago operates in an ethical, slow fashion model. All of our garments are made in Los Angeles. We work with ANTHILL Fabrics to ethically source handwoven textiles directly from weaving communities in the Philippines.

HISTORY
A type of inabel weave that means “chosen” and uses a complicated brocade weave where sticks are inserted on chosen warp (lengthwise) threads. These create designs that “float” on the threads, giving the weave a three-dimensional quality. Designs are mostly representative of nature and their environment.

Pinilian is made by the ethnolinguistic group of the Itneg in the Cordillera region. Pinilian blankets serve prestigious and ceremonial functions rather than utilitarian ones. During the wakes of important members of the group, they are put on display as a sign of wealth. They are also believed to offer protection for the spirits against malevolent beings.

bago works with ANTHILL Fabrics to ethically source handwoven textiles directly from weaving communities in the Philippines. ANTHILL provides working compensation to their weavers more than 10x the national average to ensure fair wages. 

43% of our textile costs goes directly to the weavers

48% of our textile costs is reinvested by ANTHILL Fabrics into their Community Enterprise Development Program 

Preorders close on Wednesday, November 29 at 11:59PM PST. We expect to complete production, QA, handling, and shipping within 2-4 weeks after the preorder closes. We currently anticipate that these items will be shipped and delivered before Christmas.

It’s important to note that as a small business operating on a slow fashion model, unexpected delays can happen outside of our control. However, we will provide updates on production and shipping, especially in the case that our timeline extends past our initial delivery target period.
