Antique\u00f1os are encouraged to patronize the handwoven \u201cpatadyong\u201d (wraparound garment) because it gives them a sense of identity.<\/p>\n
The Antique handwoven fabric is distinct from that of other places, according to PJ Ara\u00f1ador, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) consultant and resource person, during the two-day Fiesta Haraya: Patadyong Design Trends Conference that culminated here Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cPatadyong is being considered as the soul of Antique\u00f1os, being an indigenous textile,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said the patadyong dates back to the pre-Hispanic time when Antique peasant women would wear it as their everyday clothing.<\/p>\n
He also said that Antique\u2019s textile is distinct because it is plaid or checkered and is colorful.<\/p>\n
\u201cPatadyong from a peasants\u2019 fabric used to have a subdued color. Now it evolved to have a tropical festive color worn during special occasions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that through time, the patadyong that came from the Hiligaynon term \u201ctadlong\u201d or straight as a tubular wrap-around now has contemporary designs for streetwear and bags.<\/p>\n
He said that the fabric should be sustained through the support of locals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe artisans (loom weavers) should also be able to translate their effort to earn a living and to make their lives better,\u201d Ara\u00f1ador said.<\/p>\n
He said that in India and other countries, people use their locally made textiles to support the artisans and sustain their indigenous craft.<\/p>\n
He also mentioned that as part of sustainability, the Department of Science and Trade (DOST) has put up a natural dye hub in San Remigio for the handwoven fabric.<\/p>\n
The DTI trains weavers in design and marketing.<\/p>\n
The Bagtason Loom Weaving Center in Bugasong, meanwhile, serves as a production center of handwoven fabric, providing livelihood for the locals. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
