Sling bag (ramit)

The ramit is a textile made by the Buhid and Hanunuo Mangyans. It is woven on a backstrap loom called harablon and features intricate geometric patterns. In the past, it was made from homespun cotton which was then indigo-dyed. Today, the thread used for making the ramit is purchased from local stores. It takes one week to weave a 23-inch x 108-inch ramit.

This is a sling bag made of ramit (12L x 10W inches, 19 inches string).
