Contrary to other mechanical ways of producing cloth which can be done instantly, the yakan-woven cloth is uniquely created. The execution of secret weaving techniques, ample time, concentration, style, and passion, intensive manual efforts, are highly devoted to produce this intricately design product.
The abilty to weave and how detailed the designs of the fabrics are make the Yakans as the Finest Weaver in Asia.
These fabric products of Lamiteños are very much treasured as they depict the colorful culture of the yakans thriving in Lamitan City, Basilan and to those who migrated to other neighboring places like in Isabela City and Zamboanga City.
The yakan woven cloths are then used for creating awesome masterpieces such as table runner, purse, handbags, and traditional garments usually worn by men and women during Lami-Lamihan Festival.
Visitors and foreigners who are interested to have these kinds of products should not worry at all. You may contact the Lamitan City Tourism to direct you to some locals who are making these or you may visit the Yakan Weaving Center at Upper Calarian, Zamboanga city, Philippines.
