LEYTE FEATURING THE
“I shall return”
This iconic quote from General Douglas MacArthur must have been because he tasted the delicacies prepared by the loving hands and hearts of the Leytenos!
While Leyte does not lack for travel destinations - both historic and tropical, its food will make you crave for more. Alternatively, the bountiful supply of rattan makes for artisan baskets that just begs to be taken home with you.
These and more is what makes you also say “I shall ALSO return”!
It is said that the Mamanwa Tribe of Southern Leyte is among the Philippines’ first inhabitants. Legend says that their colorful history is said to be written into each rattan strand woven into beautiful rattan baskets. When you purchase these durable baskets, you are not only supporting the indigenous peoples of Leyte but ensuring that their culture lives on for generations to come!
Do you know that with every uway bag you carry is a piece of the weaver’s life?
The journey of the bag involves harvesting the rattan, cutting it into strips, drying these strips completely, smoothing them, smoking or bathing them in oil before the actual weaving takes place. A labor of love indeed.
Bring home that eco-friendly and avant-garde bag and stand out from the boring crowd...NOW!
