Hantique

Antique, with its countryside charm and breathtaking mountain landscapes, can captivate anyone with its lush tropical retreats. Here, a rich tapestry of heritage and craftsmanship is preserved through its artisans who carry forward a legacy spanning multiple generation.​ At the heart of Antique's artisanal capabilities are its globally renowned weavers. Styling the province's showcase "Hantique" ingrains the "hands" that work towards the respected recognition of the weavers in the province of Antique. These hands craft designs on various textiles using traditional looms and techniques, yielding a range of beautifully woven items from textiles and clothing to home decor.​ ​In a remarkable collaboration among Antiqueno MSMEs, artisanal communities, the Design Center of the Philippines, and DTI-Antique, a captivating showcase of their extraordinary creations is set to make its debut at Manila FAME 2023 before taking center stage at Ambiente 2024 in Germany.​ ​ This endeavor receives steadfast support from the Office of Senator Loren Legarda, underscoring the commitment to catapulting Antique's craftsmanship and creativity onto the global stage.
