The cloth, and the hands behind it

The patadyong is a treasured handwoven textile of the Antique province — generations of Filipino craft held in every thread, dyed and woven by hand on traditional looms.

Founded by May Alicante, Patadyong Apparel reimagines this living tradition into modern silhouettes — boleros, statement pieces, and everyday wear that honour the weave while fitting the way we live today.

Every piece is made to order, and every order supports the local weavers keeping a centuries-old craft alive.
