Not many people may have heard about ‘limar’ textiles as they are not as well-known as other types of ‘songket’ fabrics. But ‘limar’ is a part of the nation’s Malay textile heritage that deserves to be celebrated and treasured.
In view of its exclusivity and value, renowned Malaysian fashion designer Salikin Sidek, 60, was willing to spend over RM10,000 just to have a ‘limar’ fabric, said to be more than 150 years old, in his possession. Salikin Sidek, who owns a boutique called Mahligai Salikin Sidek and is known for his expertise in designing traditional Malay attire, said as an owner of heritage fabrics like ‘limar’, the main challenge he faces is maintaining and preserving them so that they remain in good condition and do not deteriorate.
