Pawa Collared & Pocketed Crop Top

“Pawa” means light in the Binukid language of the Talaandig community, a quiet reminder to move with clarity, even in heavy times. A sibling to our Marino Jacket, this collared crop top was born from the tension of today’s social climate. These days even something as simple as a pocket can carry perception. The hanging pockets speak to that unease, a subtle nod to the narratives placed on bodies in shared spaces grounded in resilience. Guided by the wisdom of elders, this design carries an intention: to stay calm, stay prayerful, and stay steady. To choose light. Crafted in two distinct variants, Inabel Kusikus and Kalinga Laga, in deep black and rich green, honoring indigenous textile traditions while holding space for contemporary expression. Structured but easy, statement yet wearable. This is your go-to for anything cute, styled up or pared down. Wear it as a reminder: you carry your own light.
