SOMBRERO DE MUSA by Gaia
G
REATLY INSPIRED BY THE MUSA ADVOCACY OF MS Joy Soo, Sombrero De Musa was born during the times of pandemic with a great purpose of making a difference in other people’s lives, an extraordinary idea grew into a blooming reality. Sombrero de Musa speaks a lot of Ms. Gay Aala’s
personality, a lover of local hats and local products as well.. Sombrero takes pride of designed local hats that can protect one’s face from the hot sunny weather and at the same time fashionably adorned with Musa flowers that never wither. Sombrero de Musa upholds the Musa advocacy in providing sustainable livelihood for our weavers from the indigenous communities of Davao del Norte. Moreover, this creates a venue for the persons deprived of liberty to explore their artistic skills as they also transform Musa fabric into flower-shaped embellishments, giving a way for the making of Flores de Musa. Local hats turned into fashionable creations and head accessories from Sombrero de Musa do not only innovate the utilization of our local fabric, but these also incorporate the beauty of Flores de Musa, proudly showcasing the genuine craftsmanship of Davao del Norte artisans.
