Assalamualaikum and hye gais! I would like to share to you gais about fabric that use in Busana Traditional. Bonda use material songket and cotton to make Busana Traditional looks exclusive and more traditional. Songket is a fabric that woven with a traditional machine and have a complicated pattern of gold or silver thread. Songket is a fabric that belongs to the brocade family of textiles of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei.
It is hand-woven in silk or cotton, and intricately patterned with gold or silver threads. The metallic threads stand out against the background cloth to create a shimmering effect. In the weaving process the metallic threads are inserted in between the silk or cotton weft threads. Exclusive songket requires between one and three months to complete, while ordinary songket only takes about 3 days.
Although songket has intricate thread patterns, songket demand is extremely high and songket marketing is also popular abroad. From a historical point view songket is only used by noodles. royal family and big people. this is because of the weaving and the complexity of songket pattern motifs at the moment reflects the rank and of position of a person.
