AURORA is a full-front open kimona top with one hook and eye enclosure in front in natural piña-silk, finished with butterfly sleeves and a round collar. Piña-silk blends the country’s most storied fiber — hand-extracted from pineapple-leaf tissue — with silk, historically reserved for the most formal tier of barong tagalog and baro’t saya. The embroidery is hand-worked rather than machine-run, a slower and more labor-intensive method associated with the Philippines’ formal barong tradition. Tagged by the maker for formal occasions. Part of the Mayumi line, categorized as kimona.
