Threads of Empowerment

Songket weaving is a centuries-old tradition rooted in the cultural fabric of Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. Renowned for its intricate designs and luxurious feel, songket fabric is meticulously crafted using a supplementary weft technique, where threads are intricately woven into the fabric to create shimmering motifs. And Tanoti proudly stands as a beacon to preserving these traditions.
