KUCHING: Centre of Technical Excellence (CENTEXS) Commercial has launched the Nostalgia Raya Tudung Bawal Juma’ani ahead of Hari Raya Aidilfitri next month.
The new collection which was launched on Tuesday (March 21) evening is available for grabs at the Juma’ani Pavilion.
CENTEXS Commercial general manager Mohamad Shahren Mohamad Yusri said the collection in cotton and satin materials are the first products produced by local designers at the Juma’ani Pavilion.
He said the designs are inspired by Puan Sri Datuk Amar Juma’ani Tun Tuanku Bujang’s favourite flowers.
“The products that we are launching are our own in terms of the design and materials used. The price range is from RM129 for satin and RM39 for cotton.
“There are five unique designs for the satin and cotton materials respectively,” he said at the launching of the Nostalgia Raya Tudung Bawal Juma’ani.
The launching ceremony was also attended by CENTEXS chairman Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Morshidi Abdul Ghani, CENTEXS chief executive officer Syeed Mohd Hussein Wan Abdul Rahman, Deputy Minister in the Premier of Sarawak’s Department (Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali and others.
In addition to this, the event also saw the launching of ready-to-wear baju kurung and baju Melayu by Koleksi Bulan Bintang.
Mohamad Shahren said Koleksi Bulan Bintang is one of the most popular manufacturers of baju kurung and baju Melayu in Peninsular Malaysia.
“This is our latest collaboration in which we are working together with Koleksi Bulan Bintang to bring their collections of ready-to-wear attire for adults and children to Sarawak.
“We are using the Juma’ani Pavillion as the platform to promote and make the Koleksi Bulan Bintang products available for Sarawakians,” he said.
Mohamad Shahren expressed hope that Koleksi Bulan Bintang will embark on a special edition especially for customers in Sarawak.
He said CENTEXS can assist as they have the workforce consisting of their own alumni who can design and produce these products.
“This is something that we look forward too because we have the facilities in Juma’ani Pavillion and the talents who can make it happen,” he added.
The Juma’ani Pavillion is Borneo’s first fashion hub aimed at driving Sarawak’s creative economy and increasing Sarawak fashion products’ global presence that would in turn position the state as an international fashion tourism destination in Borneo and Kalimantan.
The one-stop hub for Sarawakian fashion products is fully managed by CENTEXS Commercial in collaboration with the CENTEXS and Old Kuching Smart Heritage (OKSHe).
