Founded in 2022 in Brgy. Sabangan, Santiago, Ilocos Sur, Philippines, Inabel Ilocos began as a meaningful initiative to revive and preserve the traditional art of handloom weaving, a craft deeply rooted in the cultural identity of the community. Driven by purpose, founder Jocel Gacilos sought to bring new life to this fading tradition by introducing it to a wider market.
From originally offering handwoven fabrics, the brand has evolved into creating ready-to-wear pieces that blend tradition with modern design. As it continues to gain recognition locally and internationally, Inabel Ilocos remains committed to preserving weaving traditions, empowering local artisans, and ensuring the craft thrives for future generations.
