Terengganu Songket

Terengganu Songket Songket is a fabric which is hand-woven in silk or cotton, and intricately patterned with gold or silver threads.

Songket or cloth of gold is originally from a mix of cotton and silk that was inter-woven with supplementary gold or silver thread. It is said to have evolved when the Malay sultanates began trading with China and India where the silk, gold and silver came from. Today the imitation thread is generally used to replace the gold and silver which is much expensive. Because of its unique material and w

eaving method, Songket was once exclusive to royalty, but today it is used during formal occasion, such as weddings. More information on Terengganu Songket can be obtained from:
