Nautical Manila, A Look At Our Collection
Manila rope, yes it is from Manila, the capital and chief city of the Philippines. This rope is the original whaler's rope and ship's rope. It is still made today, from the leaves of the abaca plant. The Philippines grows 85% - 95% of the earth's abaca, a sustainable textile resource. The production of the rope employs 1.5 million people.
