- 4 years ago
Ba’law uses flour sacks or katsa to create clothes. Jude Rivera—the founder of Arapilak—together with her team, they would buy empty flour sacks from bakeries in Palawan for P5 to P10 each and then they will wash it and let it dry, then they will give it to a dressmaker to create cute pieces like button-downs, camisa de chino, crop tops, shorts, and skirts that they sell for only P250 each, while dresses start at P450.
