Piña fiber, crafted from pineapple leaves, has been part of Philippine textile heritage since the 1600s. This unique fiber creates a luxurious, lace-like fabric called nipis, which is celebrated worldwide as a symbol of Philippine craftsmanship. It comes in two types: bastos and liniuan. Bastos is a durable, coarse fiber that’s ideal for household items like rugs and mats. Meanwhile, liniuan is a fine, delicate fiber used to create elegant clothing and accessories.
