Calado

Calado is a traditional Filipino cutwork embroidery technique involving removing threads from fabric and reinforcing the resulting openwork with fine hand-stitching for a delicate, lace-like effect. Historically associated with formalwear and religious vestments, calado remains a labor-intensive marker of genuine artisanal Filipino craftsmanship today directly.
