Unique Souvenirs and Gifts from Malaysia

If you are looking for a really unique souvenir from Malaysia look no further than Jari Indai.
Jari Indai has the most wonderful, hand-woven bags you have seen!

 

These bags are woven by the women of the Iban tribe in Borneo. 

Sitting in their traditional long houses, the Iban women will come together to weave and talk and use their craft to pay for the school fees of their children.  

The bags come in a variety of colours and each one has a special motif following the traditional motifs of the anjat and ikat.

              To get hold of some of these bags you can reach the ladies on the details above.

Zero Waste Items Kuala Lumpur

 

Fabulous to see that Malaysia is taking to the Zero Waste concept!! Items such as the metal straws above or edible cutlery below go a very long way to reducing the horrible and terrifying amount of plastic that is floating around our rivers and seas. 

In August 2019, Medical News Today published that 'Micro Plastics' have been found in fresh water and drinking water!!  That is so shocking! By consuming plastic, using any single-use plastic we are contributing to this. 

As the old saying goes: "What goes around, comes around!"

Please let's put a stop to this cycle. Let's play our part and do the right thing!
