The beaded shoe also known as ‘beaded shoe surface’ is a traditional handicraft product of the Peranakan Baba and Nyonya community in Malacca since generations. To produce a pair of beaded shoe takes a lot of time and effort as each shoe was adorned with richly-coloured beads and such intricate design is limited and will be reproduced on request.. The surface of the shoe is usually embellished with flora and fauna motifs such as carnation flower, roses, nature, phoenix, dragon, lion, chicken and more.
