eh nauruz, my tailor still takes in baju for hari raya. I just ask her, July is the last month. I am sending mine after i get my gaji on the 12th.

Lina, I really like the ash blue one. But I broke lah! Lina, why must u do this to me!!!!! I already have 3 songkets I bought from Arab street. I agree that the hand woven one is pretty ex in Sg.Costs at least $300. Tak nak turun harga dia even though the stuff has been on tehir shelves for months already.

yeah.. the handwoven ones are sold at $300 + in Arab street. We are selling for $220, handpicked from the pondoks some more. The ash blue one will be first come first serve sis.. If you can confirm it now that you want it, and make the account transfer, you will be the proud owner :))
Remember, only one piece per design per colour .. So hurry !!!

thanks for your support. we hope that people will realise the importance of buying real Handwoven songket instead of the cheaper machine woven versions so easily available in arab street and joo chiat complex. so that in these manner, the cottage industry housing the real artists will survive hingga ke anak cucu kita insya Allah.. :)

Sure !!

We are actually on a heritage project with the pondok songkets in Malaysia to support the handwoven industry, preventing them from dying due to people recklessly buying machine woven ones so any interest in pure authentic products by the nenek2 veterans are really apprieciated by us, and them of course ! :)
