Cotton, Beads
Hawak is a smaller textile wrap designed to hold what is being carried. Its scale invites deliberate handling—folded around a vessel, a book, or personal objects in transit.
The cloth functions as a protective layer between hand and weight. It absorbs friction and contact, softening the transfer from one place to another. Through repeated use, the textile develops memory in its folds.
Hawak belongs to dala-dala, where movement requires attention and care. It is not decorative, but working—intended to be grasped, tied, and unfolded again.
Abaca blend textile
Finished edges
Prepared for repeated folding and use
Subtle variation in weave and texture is inherent.
