Elegant in its simplicity, the Tedeyung Black Malong features a bold white stripe across deep black — a timeless design rooted in Tboli tradition. Handwoven on a traditional loom by Jennilyn and Emma, each malong takes up to 7 days to complete, reflecting the focused, meditative rhythm of ancestral craftsmanship.
Even when woven in batches, every piece is individually handcrafted, ensuring each malong carries its own story, care, and character.
Made from 100% polyester, it flows comfortably with every movement — perfect as a wrap skirt, shawl, headscarf, or shoulder cover. The Tboli malong uses clean lines and symbolic geometry to communicate identity, balance, and cultural depth.
This piece is more than fabric — it’s a living tradition. Designed to connect you to heritage with every wear.
