DiaporamaBeaded Shoe (Flora & Fauna motif)
The ‘beaded shoe surface’ is an intricate beaded shoe produced traditionally by the peranakan baba nyonya for generations. It is decorated with tiny colourful beads and traditionally worn by the peranakan for special occassions. Crafting a pair of hand stitched beaded shoe is a time consuming and because of that it is more durable than others. The popular motifs used for the patterns were inspired by flora and fauna such as carnations, roses, nature, phoenix, dragon, lion, chicken and more. Each pattern produced is limited and will only be reproduced if there is demand.
