About the Barong:
Barong Tagalog is a traditional men's formal garment of the Philippines.
The birth of the barong into Philippine history began as a status of inferiority during the Spanish colonization.
However, today the purpose of a barong has evolved into a garment of independence and pride; the desire for freedom was expressed through the development of innovative styles, stunning details and embroidery.
The barong has revolutionized Filipino fashion and has expanded to styles of polo tops, mandarin collars and beautiful Filipiniana dresses.
The barong has become an iconic symbol of fine Philippine craftsmanship.
