Despite its name, the Manila shawl is a garment that originated in China, where these square silk-embroidered fabrics were made, usually decorated with birds, flowers or other colorful motifs. As they were marketed from the Philippines, a Spanish colony at the time, they were baptized with the name of its capital, Manila. In the 18th century they became very popular in Spain, where they were an essential part of the female wardrobe of the nobility and the bourgeoisie.
Benito Pérez Galdós even wrote that wrapping oneself in one of them was like dressing up in a painting and there were many artists who painted their models posing with a colorful Manila shawl. However, the new influences of European fashion gradually caused rich women to abandon it and its use was relegated to the world of the popular classes. It became, for example, a distinctive element of some flamenco dances.
Due to their deep roots in Spanish culture and the undeniable beauty of some of their pieces, Manila shawls are still, today, a collector’s item, for which some of our buyers are willing to continue to expand their private collection.

It is essential that you follow a series of storage tips to ensure a perfect state of conservation. It is essential to avoid storing them folded in a drawer, as the folds end up making marks on the silk and can tear it.
It is best to drop them naturally and wrap them in a sheet to protect them from moisture and moths. They can also be hung on a hanger and covered with a cover or stored in padded tubes, as is done in museums. When they are to be used, they should be placed one or two days beforehand on a flat surface so that the weight of the shawl itself smoothes it completely.
Finally, as far as cleaning is concerned, you must be very careful with them, as even dry cleaning products easily spoil both the fabric and the colors.
Unfortunately, those shawls that have suffered a tear in the silk, stains or imperfections lose their commercial value, giving us a margin of commercialization only with those pieces in perfect state of conservation.
In short, if you are looking for stores that buy manila shawls you have come to the right place.
Another element of Chinese origin, but also strongly rooted in the traditions and culture of our country, is the fan.
