GRACIA is a half-open barong in white pure linen, finished with 3/4 sleeves and a regular collar. Linen is a durable, absorbent, naturally cool fabric, qualities that have made it a longstanding favorite for Philippine formalwear despite its tendency to crease. This half-open construction is known as “pechera” (from the Spanish pecho, “chest”) — the oldest and most classic barong style, with embroidery concentrated along the chest opening. Tagged by the maker for office wear. Part of the Mayumi line, categorized as ladies’ barong.
