Daraga means maiden in the Bicol dialect. It’s a contemporary take on the classic Philippine Maria Clara, i.e., a soft look with a modern edge. The collection’s beauty lies in its details, e.g., butterfly sleeves, delicate pleats, layers, and flared and billowy skirts. Definitely a collection for dreamers and lovers of beauty.
The breezy feel of natural Pinukpok* and Pina Silk provide the perfect light-weight look, suggesting a laid-back and ultra-feminine appeal. These versatile pieces can be styled with heavier accessories to add a touch of character and edginess. The collection was designed with the intent of mixed and matched dresses which also function on their own as “one and done” outfits.
We love to play with different shapes and textures to create something magical and fresh…
*Filipino word which literally translates as “pounded” is a by-product of abaca, manually pounded to make the fiber soft and smooth enough for weaving.
