With Malaysia Day just four days away, tanjak maker Herin Mansor is racing to complete last-minute orders for the traditional Malay male headgear.
Stacks of handwoven and machine-made songket, rich with intricate patterns, lie ready to be folded into elegant tanjak styles. Completed pieces are neatly arranged on shelves in the corner, waiting for customers to collect.
