Abstract
The origin of the Manila manion is in embroidered silk scarves that began to be imported from the Philippines in the last century. Colonial merchants bought them from merchants in China, where they were manufactured and used as a decorative object. Upon arrival in Seville, the fringe began to be added to them and they were transformed into the garment we know today. Its very eye-catching embroideries, sometimes with carved sea applications, become true works of art in which both their beauty and their antiquity are valued. They are pieces that are still used as part of clothing, and since they are composed of easily degradable organic materials, they must be preserved from light and moisture when stored. It is essential to try to maintain a good state of conservation, since it is practically impossible to solve the deterioration that may occur.
