When used in the context of weaving or fashion, such as in the "Kundiman Weave," it often refers to designs or garments that are inspired by the deep emotional themes of Kundiman songs, embodying Filipino culture, love, and artistry in the textile's patterns and design.

I am satisfied with the quality of this dress, and it arrived before my graduation (15 days with fast shipping). However, when I put on the dress, I looked like a Minecraft character. The waistline did not fit my waist as I expected it to, probably because of the measurements I provided. Therefore, I gave it 4 stars. I love the dress, and so did everyone I met. I received a lot of compliments. Thank you so much for this beautiful dress!
The Golden Premium Barong Tagalog Jacket is beautiful. I just wish I could have worn it to the wedding where I was the Best Man! I ordered it a month early & paid extra to have it expedited & you got it to me 5 days “after” the wedding. You said you’d give me 20% refund. And I’ll give it to the groom as a wedding gift. Hope it fits him!
Thanks. Captain Jim Green, who lived at Subic Bay for 3 years.
Had so many compliments on my outfit. I also was able to have it delivered earlier when I asked for support to get it on time and it was promptly shipped. Will order here again!
I ordered a custom sized Barong and skirt about 1 month before my event; terrible planning on my end. Customer service was very kind and accommodating and I told them I needed the item asap and the fastest shipping they have. The whole outfit came within 3 weeks, 4 days before the event and I got so many compliments on it.
We selected the barnog for the father of the bride, and it was the perfect choice—both culturally meaningful and incredibly elegant. The craftsmanship was outstanding, with fine embroidery and attention to detail that gave the garment a truly refined look.
It struck the perfect balance between formal and comfortable, allowing him to move with ease while still looking dignified and proud on such an important day. The barong complemented the wedding’s overall aesthetic beautifully and received many compliments from guests.
We highly recommend for anyone looking to honor Filipino heritage in a formal and stylish way—especially for a role as special as the father of the bride.
When I put my order I am doubtful that this product wouldn't be like what I expected but it prove me wrong, the quality of the fabric, and the details has exceeded my expectation. I was so impressed that this was made from my country, it was something to be proud of, time to show it off to my Australian friends! Thank you Barong world!
Customer service was great. I reached out to try and get it as early as possible for graduation and they were able to get it done on time (got it in about 3-4 days). The fit was perfect was well, went true to size. Overall, I recommend anybody trying to continue to represent the culture and traditions by going here and getting your stuff. Maraming Salamat po!!
