It’s a fact: I am always fascinated with locally made handicrafts. And I cant help but buy a few items when I found one.
And just recently i found myself scouring for the finest table runners and placemats at Binuatan Crafts in Puerto Princesa Palawan.
Binuatan has been weaving mats and make them into bags and other stuff for the last thirteen years. They pride themselves in creating masterpieces using locally available tikog and amumuting grass. These grasses are harvested in nearby communities dried and dyed depending on the color preference.
Once done, weaved mats are then made into other pasalubong items like table runner, placemats, handbags, cellphone and tablet sleeve, window blinds keychains and a whole lot more.
Their finished products are also on display at the showroom jusg beside the weaving center. The showroom opened in 2005 has been one of the top pasalubong shops when in Palawan.
Binuatan Crafts also accepts credit and debit card payments just in case you forgot to bring enough cash.
