The Royal Gala : Raya 2025
calvinthoo X Ulin Songket
A collaboration with an Indonesian songket designer from Palembang .. while they produce all types of songkets but we requested to work with their City’s famous Songket Limar .
Without bias , Ulin Songket didnt dissapoint as they really gave us their best quality songkets to work with , colourful threads woven with golds and silvers .
I didn’t want to sway too much from the essence of Indonesia , therefore we designed and a collection of mainly kebayas ; mix and match with corded lace tops as well as embroidered nyonya kebayas .
It was indeed an new but very memorable experience for us as they provided us songket lengths of just the skirts and shawl ; exactly like how the Indonesians buys them .. where by in Malaysia, we normally will get lengths enough for an entire outfit . How interesting !! ♥️♥️
They also wanted to show off their City’s batik motifs ; called “ jumputan” .. its the first time I have seen these batiks and I find them to be quite interesting as their motives reminded me of the drawing of a todler’s .
Thank you Kak Ulin for your trust in us .. ♥️♥️
