Songket Terengganu

These are exquisite collection of songket designed by TITS, painstakingly weaved at Pura Tanjung Sabtu.

I like TITS work because the design is classic, inspired by the collections of his family heirlooms, passed down within the royal house of Terengganu.



TITS has his very own identity which keeps the originality of songket that weived in Pura. A trained pair of eyes can tell the differences of his work. I only realize it after one of the loyal weavers told me about it.



I have nothing agaist the new designs of songket, but I prefer the classic finely woven Terengganu songket, timeless and just elegent!

Yup, much prefer the traditional designs, which tend to also be a bit more intricate. Very beautiful.
