6 Shops for Locally Made Tie-dye Pieces to Add Some Zest to Your Wardrobe

Fold, twist, and tie. The art of dyeing shirts is believed to have been popularized in the 1960s and '70s. It became a symbol of the counterculture movement, peace, and love. Over time, tie-dye has become associated with the nostalgic and retro aesthetic, evoking feelings of freedom and creativity, as well as the do-it-yourself (DIY) ethos and the idea of adapting to different fashion trends and styles.

Considering their vibrant and eye-catching designs, here’s where to shop locally made tie-dye pieces in the Philippines that will surely add fun to your wardrobe.

Magaion Shirts

This local clothing brand is one of the go-tos for locally handcrafted tie-dye shirts. The shop got its name from the Bicolano word “magayon,” which means beautiful, fascinating, and refined.

In 2017, the owners of Magaion Shirts held a "soft launch," selling 20 tie-dye shirts in a surf town where chill and laidback beachgoers loved their work. Since then, the shop has decided to make unique pieces for every collection it releases, meaning no two shirts are the same, and in small batches to ensure quality and the best hue combinations.

Apart from shirts, Magaion also sells a wide variety of tie-dye tote bags, hats, caps, hoodies, sweatshirts, socks, and scrunchies.

Dye & Delight Co.

If you’re a fan of oversized tie-dye shirts, then we recommend checking out Dye & Delight Co. We personally love its Japanese-inspired shirt logo combined with a modern tie-dye style, such as the black shadow crumpled, blazing ice, bloody show, and tie-dye Oreo-themed shirts.

Those who still love to stick with the classic spiral design might want to check out its tie-dye crumpled spiral in green, coffee, purple, and pastel.
