KUALA TERENGGANU: Beginning from January next year, all original handwoven Terengganu songket will be given serial numbers and have the exclusive label as verification of their authentic quality.

The serial numbers and exclusive label will be used as the trademark for authentic handwoven Terengganu songket in a move to preserve it and is an initiative by the Terengganu International Design Excellence (TiDE), the Terengganu Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation (MHDC) and Terengganu Entrepreneur Development Foundation (YPU).
