Malay songket is a traditional textile characterized by gold threads woven into a plain base, showcasing Malay creativity and reflecting the "Malay Universe" as a symbol of identity. Originating in ancient Malay states like Langkasuka, songket gained prominence among nobles and became a luxury attire, with weaving skills historically essential for women in some regions. Terengganu is now considered a central hub for songket production, a practice that has been an important economic activity since the 18th century. The creation of songket involves meticulous steps, starting with imported silk, cotton, and gold threads that undergo dyeing and tying processes, historically using natural dyes, before being woven into the final elegant fabric.
