Bituin ng Saya (Abaca Pinangabol)
Derived from the Spanish word farol, which means "lantern" or "light," we light up this holiday season in our traditional Filipino parol with our Bituin ng Saya Parol. Every parol is a luminous ode to joy, meticulously handcrafted from the exquisite Abaca Pinangabol fabric. These vibrant textiles, adorned with distinct patterns of ikat or kalandrakas, are woven with love and expertise by the weavers of the Daraghuyan Tribe in Bukidnon. Available in four sizes, this parol offers the choice to illuminate your space with a warm, inviting glow or maintain its classic charm when unlit.
The Bituin ng Saya Parol encapsulates the essence of the season, embodying the rich Filipino Christmas tradition through its vibrant patterns and the graceful allure of Abaca Pinangabol. The elegant design, accentuated by its artisanal imperfections, bestows character and individuality upon each piece, serving as a beautiful reminder that imperfections can be a source of beauty. This parol is more than just a decoration; it's a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of Filipino craftsmanship and the unifying spirit of the holiday season.
To celebrate the spirit of giving and Christmas, 10% of the sale of every parol will go to the Noche Buena fund of our community partners and team.
For the "With Lights" option, please note that there will be an additional cost for the lights.
Shipping to PH and US only. Fee per parol: Local P450, International shipping P6,600.
