T’nalak, Hand woven wheat straw, Cotton grosgrain, Silk.

In a world dominated by fast fashion, the elegance of the natural world is often overlooked. Drawing inspiration from the past, Emily revisits the timeless silhouette of the bonnet, transforming it into a chic, modern visor crafted with sustainability at its core.

The piece features a base of T’nalak - a banana fiber textile handwoven by the T’boli people of the Philippines - paired with intricate woven wheat straw detailing. The result is a contemporary, ready to wear accessory that celebrates the sleek contrast of light and shadow whilst honouring artisanal craftsmanship.
