Aldevinco Shopping Center: "Locally made goods" Top 5 Page for this destination Davao Shopping Tip by sanggano

Aldevinco houses tiny shops selling native handicraft, garments, fancy jewelry and collector’s items (antique brassware, indigenous musical instruments, etc.). The garments are mostly made from Indonesian or Thai cloth, but native fabric (like the T’nalak of the T’boli) are also available, although in steadily declining quantity.

What to buy: ethnic musical instruments, t'nalak and sinamay indigenous fabric, malong, fancy jewelry and beaded items, folding beach mat (when folded, it can be carried like a bag).

What to pay: Compare prices before buying, and haggle at least 15%. Early shoppers get better deals (buena mano)
