It is well known that the Ga’dang people have the most embellished clothing among the different groups that span the Philippines, as they reside in the Provinces of Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Isabela, Mountain Province, and Kalinga. They express their artistry through manu’bak (beadwork) and ammeru (embroidery), exquisitely showing their handiwork in their clothing and accessories.

The majority of the Ga’dang attire is colored red. Women often weave these vibrantly colored garments with beads, buttons, small coins, and shells such as mother-of-pearl. A long-sleeved shirt called the bawarawsi, a woven belt called bakwat, and a wrap-around skirt called aken make up the feminine outfit. In the past, it was only when they traveled to the lowlands that Ga’dang women wore upper garments. It is said that women seldom go without beads around their necks. The female ensemble is elevated using various adornments like the attifulan (headdress), buraway (earrings), tufut (bag or pouch), and different kinds of sillay (necklaces) such as the sinalisali and karawewin.

Often with beaded tassels, each piece in these ensembles is adorned with stitched bukat or tiny beads. They consider the hues red, yellow, black, white, and brown to be particularly Ga'dang.
