About Our Fibers

At Raciónamento, we honor Philippine native fibers through our collection of handwoven bags. Crafted from natural materials like rattan, bangkwang, and abaca, each piece highlights the unique beauty and craftsmanship of Filipino artistry. These fibers are celebrated for their durability and timeless elegance, making them perfect for versatile, everyday wear.

Rattan, sourced from the stems of the rattan palm, combines strength with a light, airy texture, offering both practicality and a relaxed, stylish look.

Bangkwang, derived from water hyacinth, features sturdy fibers and distinctive woven patterns, delivering durability with a refined, elegant appeal.

Abaca, from the banana plant, is known for its exceptional strength and flexibility, resulting in durable yet versatile designs that maintain a natural, sophisticated aesthetic.

These fibers have been an integral part of Filipino culture and craftsmanship for centuries, and we take pride in collaborating with local artisans who specialize in these materials.

Each item is crafted with attention to quality and detail, ensuring that your Raciónamento pieces remain as enduring as the traditions they represent.
