T'nalak Round Clutch Bag

T’nalak is a weaving tradition of the T’boli people of South Cotabato, Philippines. T'nalak cloth is woven exclusively by women who have received the designs for the weave in their dreams, which they believe are a gift from Fu Dalu, the T'boli Goddess of abacá.
 
T’nalak is used for ritual purposes, as an offering to the spirits and during festival celebrations. It is also exchanged between families for food and supplies in the T'bolis’ barter economy, which endures to this day. Many communities rely on the commercial sale of t’nalak to earn a living.
 
This clutch bag is a great accessory to your outfits! Made with T'nalak fabric and lock accessory are 100% handmade by the T'boli people of Lake Sebu, Cotabato.
