Saturday was a fruitful one, my mum, fiance and I explored the Peranakan Museum @ 39 Armenian Street. I’m of Peranakan heritage, so it’s about time i get to know more about the Peranakan culture. I was totally amused by their rich history and artefacts. Peranakans are famous for their traditional sarong kebayas and their many expensive accessories.
My grandma owns one of these beaded slippers. In modern times, an authentic beaded slipper can cost up to thousands. It sure takes loads of sweat and hard work into doing these.
These shoes are the Mary Janes back in the 1920s. Oh yes, they already had this fashion back then.
These are the beaded craftwork done for the slippers before they become a final product.
Oh! Presenting the sarong kebaya now mostly worn by the older Peranakan generation. I’d love to wear one for my wedding.
And here’s me! The tee shirt girl on a casual day.
Tee: Jayjays (AU)
Jeans: Dorothy Perkins
Shoes: From AU, can’t remember the store name. Got it for only AU$14.
