Gabriel Barong (Cacao)
Cocoon silk in Cacao — grounded, direct, the highest contrast in the Gabriel family.
The Gabriel Barong is shaped from pure cocoon silk, carrying the fabric’s natural texture and subtle sheen into a slim, intentional silhouette. Across the front panel, geometric embroidery in espresso brown traces vertical columns of rectangular blocks, diamond forms, and wave connectors — architectural in rhythm, measured in placement.
The embroidery reads as structure, not decoration. Each motif is positioned to create visual weight down the center while the cocoon silk body remains clean and uninterrupted.
In Cacao, the dark embroidery against the light cocoon silk base creates deliberate tension — the geometric forms don’t blend into the surface. They stand forward. This is the Gabriel that announces its architecture from across the room.
Capiz mother of pearl shell buttons close the front, grounding the piece in Philippine material craft.
Crafted in small runs. Bespoke sizing available.
A modern Filipiniana study.
