✿ Inaul ✿
Inaul is the famous Maguindanao handwoven fabric.

The business is all about the traditional handloom weaving of the fabric with complex patterns called 'Inaul', a Maguindanaon emblem of distinction and royalty. It is a treasured cultural tradition as it captures the Maguindanao symbol of distinction and royalty and a source of pride and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the people of Cotabato City. It is used by the Magundanaons as a “

malong”, a tubular skirt or “sarong” that wraps around the lower part of the body and worn as traditional dress by both men and women.

✿ Color Symbolism ✿
Colors of yellow and orange represent royalty while red means bravery. Green signified peace and tranquillity. White, the color of purity spoke of sadness and mourning. Black means dignity. At present, the colors and lines are a matter of choice. New designs incorporate pastel to dark shades are very commonly used.

✿ Weaving Design ✿
The intricate art of weaving introduced various designs. The most popular is the plain weave such as "binaludto" (rainbow), "makabimban" (stripes) or "panigabi" (taro). A weft weave included sinodengan, matampuhay-seko, kawang and sinukipan designs. The practice of tie-dying is another rare method locally called "binaludan" (ikat).

✿ Uses ✿
Inaul is one of the most versatile handwowen textile ever conceived. Women wear it as a malong skit and as garments for formal or royal events such as weddings. Men can wear it as a trouser for formal wear. Wound around man’s head it becomes a "turban". Folded "malongs" can be used as a basket, baby cradle or bag. Others use it as a blanket, mat, curtain or pillow cases. Nowadays its uses include gowns and dresses for women and tuxedos or polo barongs for men.
