Hadja Monawara Basilan-Kamaong

Babu Monawara Basilan is 62 but still vibrant and enthusiastic to make your favorite inaul clothing!

​She was born and raised in Datu Piang and started sewing at the age of 14. She's been inspired to make clothes and has been a known fashion enthusiast in Datu Piang. It was hard for her to afford clothes so she was even more motivated to make her own. 

​Now she's been making most of the inaul clothing seen at Elle Karayan and excited to showcase her indigenous culture through her practice.
