ELEGANT SONGKET

S
ongket is a piece of breathtaking traditional Malay fabric which belongs to
the brocade group of textiles. It is woven in silk or cotton threads and the
songket patterns are formed by interlacing or interweaving gold or coloured
metallic threads using the supplementary weft technique.

T
he lustrous and shimmery glow of the songket never fail to cast its spell on
both weaver and admirer.  Regarded as works of art, decorating hotels and
homes, no other fabric in the world is held by such esteem by Malaysians
who regard the songket as the 'King of Malaysian Textile'.

TYPES OF SONGKET:
 LEPUS BEREKAM
 LEPUS BERANTAI
 LEPUS PENUH
