The idea of this collection is to bring inspiration and create awareness to promote the beautiful culture of Iban Sarawak. When we think of Iban we will automatically think of pua kumbu, but not many know about bemban.

Bemban is a plant that is commonly used by the Iban people in Sarawak. It involves a lot of steps from harvesting to weaving. The artisans weave it to become a mat (tikar) or a basket (bakul).

The main material we used in this collection is bemban because this material represents the arts and crafts of the Iban people in Sarawak. It is so unique and beautiful but unfortunately not very well-known by many.

We decided to apply innovation in fashion to create awareness to this traditional material. In addition to this, we also want to create costume designs that empower women. As we know that bemban mats are actually produced by women. The weaver weaves by hand for days.

To us, they are like a warrior working very hard to sustain their tradition. We came up with the idea of making it as a collection to represent 'women power' just like Wonder Woman and other female superheroes in action movies.

We believe that a strong silhouette from the corset can bring attention that matches the women empowering concept. Thus, makes this collection a strong and meaningful one. by @bokyart

We are excited to announce that the new Sayau Sling bag is now available at @bcmgiftshop in Kuching, Sarawak! 📢

Improving on the original design, the new Sayau Sling bag is now fitted with a hidden magnet instead of a button magnet, making it easier to open and close the bag. 🧲

Do have a look at our bags when you visit the Borneo Cultures Museum, while stocks last. ✨️

From May until July, while making this corset-vest, my face also went from a breakout to slightly better now...

It took me some time to figure out this corset-vest, as well as to find a solution for my pimple breakout...

Things take time, so be patient. ⏳
