Songket

This hand-woven brocade made from gold and silver threads has had a rich history dating back to the dawn of the Malay Sultanates. Once reserved for royalty, Songket is still seen as occasion wear and some adorn the homes of those who admire the artisanal care that went into its making. The traditional design of Songket harks to nature with patterns including Pucuk Rebung, Bunga Manggis, Bunga Tabur, Sulam Emas and more. Some of the latest collections include Bunga Pokok and Bunga Pagar
