In an exciting celebration of Filipino craftsmanship, Adidas has partnered with local label Bayongciaga to launch a limited-edition collection of woven bayong bags. Released in time for International Women’s Month 2026, the collaboration highlights the beauty of traditional Filipino weaving while bringing it into the global fashion spotlight.
A Modern Twist on the Traditional Bayong
The collection reimagines the classic Filipino bayong, a woven bag traditionally used in markets across the country. Through this collaboration, the iconic accessory gets a sporty and contemporary upgrade, incorporating Adidas’ signature Three Stripes design into the woven patterns.
Each bag is made from polypropylene, a material commonly used in traditional bayong weaving, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern design elements. The bags also feature Adidas acrylic hangtags and come in several vibrant colors such as pink, purple, blue, matte gold, white, and black.
Handwoven by Filipino Artisans
Beyond style, the collaboration carries a deeper purpose. Every bag is 100% handwoven by Filipino artisans, many of whom come from weaving communities across the Philippines.
Bayongciaga works closely with different groups of craftspeople, including a livelihood program involving Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) in Bataan, providing them with opportunities to earn and develop their weaving skills. The brand has spent years supporting local weavers, leathercrafters, and tailors, empowering communities through sustainable craftsmanship.
For Bayongciaga founder Javier Villarruel, the collaboration represents an important milestone not only for the brand but also for the artisans behind each piece.
A Limited and Exclusive Drop
The Adidas x Bayongciaga bags are not sold individually. Instead, they are offered as a free limited-edition gift with a minimum purchase of ₱6,000 worth of regular-priced Adidas items. The promotion runs from March 8 to March 22, 2026, while supplies last.
The collection is available in select retail locations such as Urban Athletics, Sole Academy, Sports Central, Robinsons stores, Capital stores, ABC Mart, Planet Sports One Ayala, as well as online through Zalora.
Celebrating Filipino Creativity
The Adidas x Bayongciaga collaboration is more than just a fashion release—it’s a celebration of Filipino heritage and creativity. By bringing a traditional bayong into the world of global sportswear, the partnership highlights how local craftsmanship can evolve while staying rooted in culture.
Through this project, a simple everyday bag becomes a symbol of Filipino ingenuity, community, and pride, proving that heritage craftsmanship can stand confidently on the global stage.
