About Beyond Borders
Founded by long time friends Mel and Marga, Beyond Borders specializes in handwoven throws, made using an ancient technique called Abel weaving. Abel weaving is a timeless craft passed down through generations of artisans in the Ilocos region of the Philippines. However, younger generations are choosing to abandon it in search of more lucrative opportunities. By creating contemporary products steeped in ancient tradition, Beyond Borders aims to preserve Abel weaving, empower generations of weavers, and share the beauty of Filipino craftsmanship with the world.
