Philippine Hand Fan

This Philippine fan, is made from pineapple fibers, called "piña." Piña is a traditional and unique source of Philippine fiber and piña weaving is an intangible heritage of the Philippines.

Unique to the Philippines, piña is made by weaving the fibers of the leaves of the pineapple plant. It is made into shirts, women’s blouses, shoulder scarfs, handkerchiefs, and table linens.

Europeans introduced the pineapple to the Philippines from the Americas sometime in the sixteenth century. By the 1570s, local inhabitants began weaving piña fabric. Piña has long been treasured due to the laborious, time-consuming process of its production—extracting the pineapple plant fibers, washing and drying the fibers in the sun, patiently hand knotting three to four feet of fibers together to form thread, weaving threads into cloth on simple looms, and then embroidering the fabric.
