Product details
In the Philippines the "tangkulo" is traditionally worn as a head piece by male leaders such as chieftains and warriors in tribal communities. The pieces start out as off-white fabric then tied and hand-dyed then beaded and adorned with hand-made pom-poms. Due to the precious artisan nature of the tangkulo each one is unique and one-of-a-kind and are limited in supply.
Supporting and celebrating indigenous tribes and their cultures is at the heart of KINdom; we are all KIN. The tangkulo is worn here as a scarf and creates awareness of these rich cultures that we must preserve.
