The FINEST SONGKET and BATIK in Malaysia



Songket and batik of Terengganu remain a distinctive beauty for generations as the craftsmen stress more on originality and quality. The styles are particularly unique. The intricate designs and motifs reveal the ingenuity and creativity of the legacy of Terengganu, the unmatched arts that retain its originality over the years. Songket, which was once worn only by royalties and dignitaries, is work of art where traditional weaving technology is still being used to create designs of exquisite elegance, while batik is now recognised as a designer label and is either hand drown or block imprints. Both motifs use the local floras with a touch of artistic ingenuity, creating designs of elegance suitable for special or casual occasions. Today songket and batik grace many traditional clothes and designer’s labels as well as on crafts like handbags, cushions and home decorations.
