Textiles with stripes design are locally referred to as tinartaros or kantarinis (Ilocos). They are produced using plain weave, the most basic technique in weaving textiles (Respicio, 2014), locally known as liniston technique (Respicio, 2015). Moreover, colored yarns for the warp and/or weft are being employed when weaving this type of textile (Respicio, 2015).

This textile from the collection is among the common textiles with stripes design that are very much identified as an Ilocano weave and is called the banderado textile. Banderado, which literally means”banded” or “marked by stripes of different colors,” is characterized by either a single, two-, or three-colored combination of striped bands on a white background design (Respicio, 2015). Respicio (2015) further expounded that banderado textiles are among the most popular blankets used by Ilocano fisher folks and wet rice cultivators.
