Stalks of the Abaca plant are sliced, scraped, and sun-dried, after which the finest fibers are separated and woven into cloth. Previously used to make rope, it is known to be the strongest of all natural fibers.

Handloom weaving is the oldest industry in the town of Aklan, Philippines. Although it is a big part of the local culture, it is a time-consuming practice, and interested youth have become few and far between.
Ancán values the practice of passing down things, celebrating its origins. The brand focuses on the creation of objects evocative of its culture, through a new narrative rooted in age-old methods. Ancán aims to help preserve traditional craft and support the communities that make them, always prioritising natural materials. 10% of all their proceeds go to non-profit organizations.
