Jean's Collaboration with MUSA Fabric by Joy Soo
The Musa Advocacy started in January 2020, during the outbreak of the pandemic when this project was initiated by Ms. Joy Soo, a Certified Public Accountant and a Fashion Designer who finding her life's purpose in this endeavor was able to sustain a livelihood project for the Persons Deprived of Liberty or prisoners in 3 jail institutions of the whole province of Davao del Norte, in Mindanao, Philippines. Davao del Norte is the Banana capital of the Philippines. Banana's fiber is the main material used in producing MUSA FABRIC. Hence, derived MUSA which is the Scientific name of banana. The process of decortication of the banana fiber is done by some association of men and women in the locality. It's polished grade is combined with colorful threads intricately woven by the prisoners using a manual weaving loom which made the fabric naturally artisan. It may take one day to make a 3 meter MUSA Fabric but Artisanal Musa is made out of love and passion, and that what makes its quality even more valuable.
