100 FILIPINO WEAVES GIFT BOX FOR FATHERS DAY
SAN FRANCISCO, California - Oodaalolly Chocolate and partner Anthill Fabric have curated a memorable Father's Day gift box—a limited edition handmade chocolate and tie collection.
The collection is composed of 100 unique ties and bowties made using the traditional woven stripes and checkered designs of the mother artisans of Abra and a small number of Ambension Silk ties meticulously weaved using contemporary patterns.
The chocolates feature Philippine cocoa nibs candied with hot siling labuyo spices imported from Pangasinan. They are presented in two box variations with AI artwork inspired by the work of Filipino artist Fernando Amorsolo.
The limited collection is available for 15 days—May 16-31—on Kickstarter.
