The textile was known to have been perfected between the late 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. This traditional textile is delicately handwoven by the most skilled weavers of Aklan. It is made from silk yarns produced in Negros and hand-scraped pineapple fibers (leaves from the native red variety or \u003cem\u003eAnanas Bracteatus\u003c\/em\u003e) from Aklan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePineapple Silk is considered the \"Queen of Philippine Textiles\" and has always been the preferred fabric of the elite. Authentic Philippine formal attire, such as the intricately embroidered Barong Tagalog and the Philippine Kimona, is made using Pineapple Silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Pineapple Silk is lightweight, translucent and slightly crisp to the touch like organza. It can be easily manipulated to create structured and airy designs. Because it uses natural silk yarns and pineapple fibers, it is breathable and cool to the skin.
