Inspired by Tradition:
BAROK is an indigenous traditional coloring agent or dye. It is made of a powdered bark of Ceriops tagal, a species of mangrove tree. The extracts (barok) from the dried bark (marka tungog or tangal) are used as bittering and fermenting agents for the traditional Bahalina palm wine, giving them a deep brown-orange color and a bitter tangy aftertaste. It is also used in traditional batik and tanning leather.
Overall, the BAROK is a great choice for active individuals who value sustainability, adaptable comfort, and personal sense of style. The adjustable strap, breathable design, and multiple pockets make it suitable for various activities, from biking and jogging to everyday commutes and urban exploration.
If you’re looking for a fashionable, eco-friendly bag for your active lifestyle, the BAROK could be a perfect choice!
