Lost to Time S3 Ep4 - Songkok Maker

The songkok, a traditional headgear worn by Malay men across the Malay/Indonesian archipelago, holds deep cultural significance. In Singapore, where most songkoks are now imported, only the last traditional songkok maker preserves this craft. By making every songkok by hand, each piece is one of a kind. It remains unique while preserving a part of traditional Malay culture that is often forgotten - the making of the clothes we see. At Songkok SG, run together as a family, each songkok is imbued with a human touch that keeps this part of tradition alive.
