The Global Threads Malay Textiles Weave

Textiles like the ikat limar and songket are making a comeback, through a renewed interest from the younger generation. Having dedicated his life to amassing rare Malay textiles, textile collector and curator John Ang explains why it has gripped him. He also takes us through the history of Malay textiles and how it connects us to the rest of the world.
