Pride of the Peranakan


Heritage keepsakes: Some of the beaded shoes made by Ngiow (pic, below) on display at her boutique in Jalan Hang Lekir, Melaka. — Bernama

MELAKA: Beaded shoes are expensive but they are worth the value, especially for the meticulous work involved to produce these heritage craftwork of the Baba and Nyonya community.

What’s special about these shoes is that they can be sent for repair and the beads sewn back or replaced to be passed on from generation to generation.
