One of the many indigenous people around Zamboanga City is known as the Yakan. They are a
thriving people who are adapting their old ways with the new. Even amongst the
local residents of Zamboanga
City who are particularly
renowned for their colorful vintas, the Yakans are exquisitely known because of
the vibrancy of color in their cloth and exceptional weaving techniques of
their people.
Each pattern of the garment woven by the
Yakans is as unique as a snowflake and each one being infused with that of the
weaver’s character and pride in their work. The patterns on the garment also
reflects that of the time period it was woven in, a testament to the
adaptability of Yakan weavers.
The
Yakan are a noble people who take pride in their work and it shows in their
handiwork. Each fiber woven in the fabric is handmade to ensure top
craftsmanship, the Yakan not only limit themselves to cloth but have a broad
range of products like bags, scarves, purses, mats, belts, and ornaments.
