This two-paneled wrap-around skirt is a fusion of textile design of the Ilocos and the embroidery of Abra. Innovated by Patis Tesoro, this textile is inspired by the traditional plaid textiles of Ilocos and the kinamayan textiles of Abra. The kinamayan textile is a wrap-around skirt which typically includes embroidered motifs motifs of frogs, human figures, and plants. While it does not feature the typical embroidery motifs found in traditional kinamayan textiles, this innovative version retains the rice plant and zigzag motifs.

The term "kinamayan" translates to "hand-made" or "handwoven," referring to the hand-embroidered designs that are a prominent feature of the skirt. The textile is traditionally used as a ritual item by a diviner or priestess (known as a manganito in various Itneg or Tinguian ceremonies, typically those that involve appeasing their gods. In some cases, it is also used during the performance of the traditional dance called the tadek (Respicio, 1994). Aquino (2005) noted that the kinamayan is traditionally used during rituals and events such as the dawak, diyaman, and allap.
