This Raya season, HABIB introduces its stunning one-of-a-kind collection, inspired by the art of Tekat, as a tribute to Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage, as well as to honour the skilled artisans who have kept this tradition of classic embroidery alive.
Each piece in this collection showcases the intricate beauty of Tekat that is expertly woven, highlighting the timeless work of art that reflects a story of heritage, into exceptional jewellery pieces accentuated by astounding textures and remarkable depths.
This collection features an array of exquisite jewellery pieces such as brooches, pendants, bangles, and rings, that interlace both nature and floral elements, exhibiting a striking yet demure concept. One of the inspirations for this collection that was gathered from Tekat included the motif of Awan Larat, which can be found in Malaysian traditional textiles. Often regarded as a symbol of growth, continuity, and the interrelation of all things, the Awan Larat design emphasises the art of repeated curving patterns and interlocking lines which resemble flowing clouds.
The Bunga Kekwa (Chrysanthemum) design is also one of the motifs that has been meticulously adapted into the premium Tekat collections. In many instances associated with beauty, femininity and grace, this piece is curated as a captivating statement piece, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication as the perfect companion to go along with baju kurung or kebaya. The tasteful floral pattern featured in these jewellery pieces delightfully captures glittering light shimmering with every movement.
HABIB reinvigorated the complexity and enchantment of this art form and brought it to the forefront of contemporary modern-day jewellery crafting. The traditional elements in the collection exude an embodiment of priceless treasure, and worthy to be passed down from generation to generation. Each of the pieces were masterfully handcrafted in 18K yellow, white or rose gold, with diamond embellishments, and the delicate patterns and the irresistible glimmer of the diamonds make them the quintessential choice for Raya, or any special occasion.
Whether you’re looking for a timeless piece for everyday use or a show-stopping piece for an important event, this collection has you covered, and is true testament to HABIB’s commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and innovation.
