Filipinx American History Month (FAHM) is around the corner and it's the perfect time to do a closet check to make sure we're ready for that FAHM event!

Here are five must-have items to add to your wardrobe this season:

1. Tubaw
A headpiece worn by various indigenous communities across the Philippines. The Tubaw is both functional and fashionable. It can be worn as a head wrap, scarf, or even a belt, making it an ideal accessory for any outfit. With its bright patterns, the Tubaw adds a pop of culture to your #ootd.

2. Malong
The Malong is a traditional tubular garment from Mindanao, versatile enough to be worn as a skirt, dress, or blanket. Our take on this piece showcases intricate patterns while retaining its practicality, making it a stylish go-to for any occasion.

3. Butterfly-Sleeved Top
Inspired by the terno, the Butterfly-Sleeved Top is a staple in Filipinx fashion. Our collection of butterfly sleeved tops elevates this classic look with contemporary cuts, perfect for dressing up or down. Its iconic sleeves offer an elegant nod to the Philippines’ fashion history.

4. Ling Ling O
This ancient amulet, common in the Kalinga and Ifugao communities, symbolizes fertility and abundance. Our Ling Ling O pieces are more than just jewelry—they are powerful symbolism and amo.

5. T'boli 8-Layer Necklace
From the community of Dreamweavers in Lake Sebu, motifs of our 8-layer necklaces are similar to that of T'nalak. Intricate beadwork presents patterns of snake skins known to be a symbol of ancestral wisdom..
