One of the items that came from Canton to Manila was the silk shawl. It was a square piece of cloth with plenty of embroidery. The shawl was folded in half like a triangle and worn over the shoulders of women. This shawl became known as the Manton de Manila, although it was not made in Manila, but was made in Canton. The Philippines never had a silk industry. The Manton de Manila soon became very popular in Seville, Andalusia, and in Latin America.

Today, the Manton de Manila is still very popular in Andalusia for festive occasions. Women use the shawls for dressing up and going to parties. During the Festival of the Crosses of May in Cordoba, balconies are dressed up with the Shawls that add a bright look to the plazas. During the April Fair in Seville, most of the women in Gypsy dress (flamenco dress) use the Shawls as an accessory.
