⚔️✨ It's been a week since Main Quest, and we're still incredibly grateful for all the support you've given us! ✨⚔️
💖 Thank you to everyone who supported my Chibisaya series and the new Hinagiban sa Kabisay-an miniature sword collection. Seeing your enthusiasm for these projects means the world to us! 🙏🐃
⚔️ We successfully launched the first wave of Hinagiban sa Kabisay-an, but we're far from done! Online pre-orders are still open for anyone who wants to add these miniature blades to their collection. 📦✨
🛡️ Nothing is final yet, but we're already working on future additions! Visayan shields and daggers are on the horizon, and... perhaps even swords from neighboring islands. 👀⚔️🌴
🎉 Main Quest was an amazing experience, and we loved meeting so many of you in person! Thank you for stopping by our booth, sharing stories, and supporting local creators. ❤️
🎪 We hope to see all of you again next year!
Daghang salamat! 💖🙏⚔️

REYNA JUANA'S OUTFIT DESCRIBED BY ANTONIO PIGAFETTA IN 1521 ✨️
While Humamay/Amihan (Reyna Juana) today is depicted in flamboyant and creatively adorned colonial clothing during the Sinulog Festival, her whole outfit, nail color, and lip color were actually described in detail by Antonio Pigafetta, who met her in 1521 and witnessed her acceptance of the Santo Niño during her baptism.
In her two appearances in Pigafetta's journal, she had this outfit:
➡️ a black and white sheet (likely a tapis, which was popular among Cebuano women until the 1800s) -- the dominant color would be black, which is a prized, pleasing color among natives, while wearing white is a mourning color
➡️ a silk veil with gold stripes
➡️ a large saruk palm hat, which until today is woven in Consolacion, Cebu
➡️ red nails
➡️ red lips
Minxie Villaver adorns her Humamay portrayal with gold accessories based on Visayan artifacts. Her tapis is a black and silver Maguindanaon inaul, which resembles the garment trims in Boxer Codex and Alcina illustrations of Visayan royals. Her saruk is from the weavers of Consolacion.
Visual interpretations of historical figures evolve as culture evolves and accepts outside influences. But it's also important to see historically accurate portrayals to see a glimpse of our ancestors and their sartorial choices.
