Pinokpok translates as ‘Pounded Abaca’. It has a smooth linen appearance due to the fact that it has been subjected to considerable hand pounding. Usually, this hand pounding or hammering of the materials can take days and produces a shiny and smooth material, amazing for blocking and trimming.
Milliners from around the world have brought these mild mannered flat woven buntal mats to life. From edgy caps to racewear hats, these mats are fun to work with and offer dynamic results.
