BRUNEI | Handicraft Centre ...

... as the Eid celebration is getting closer ... people would usually buy new stuffs for the celebration ... be it new clothes .. shoes .... accessories... and stuffs...

.. for the men in Brunei ... one of the common new stuff to get are .. the traditional woven clothes for their National Dress (Sinjang for Baju Melayu) .. and also new hat or Songkok ....

... despite loads of those common shops selling these items in abundance ... and in cheap ... yet .. if you are looking for quality item ... a very good quality songkok and sinjang ... one can get them from the Handicraft Centre (Pusat Kesenian & Pertukangan Tangan) in Bandar ... just ask anyone .. where Pusat Kesenian is ... any local will know where it is located .....



... the "high-rise" building at the foreground is the Handicraft Centre .. situated in in Bandar ... next to the Brunei River .....

.. selling not only songkok, sinjang & kain tenunan ... one can also find silverware and stuffs... if u haven't been there... and before u buy those not so good quality stuffs from those roadside shops... or those shops with branches all over the place .... please drop by to the Handicraft Centre ... and see what quality wear are .....

.. eermm.. nope... I'm in no way associated with the centre .. nor have any share in it .... but merely just wanna promote our local products... ;)
