Our Story
In 2008 the Queen of Malaysia set up a workshop to teach Sarawakian women to weave songket. In 2012 it was handed to us with thirteen artisans and one instruction: make sure this craft outlives its teachers.
Fourteen years on there are more than eight hundred of them, across longhouses, coastal villages and settlements deep in the Baram. Tanoti is what happened when a heritage craft was given a commercial reason to keep existing.

What customers say
★★★★★
Wore it to a wedding in KK
The linut colour is so much richer in person. I got asked three times where it was from. Sizing was exactly what the size finder said.
★★★★★
Finally something I can wear to the office
I have a lot of "heritage" pieces that sit in the wardrobe. This one is in rotation weekly. The trousers are the sleeper hit.
★★★★★
Bought for my mother, kept one for myself
The artisan card with her name on it made my mum cry. Shipped to Penang in two days.
