RUMAH GARE
This Iban longhouse community in the region of Ulu Kapit, Sarawak produce pua kumbu fabrics in warp ikat using backstrap looms. They are descended from many generations of pua kumbu weavers. Today, they continue to practise ancient customs in their fabric production, including the Ngar ritual to mordant their threads and using only natural dyes from plants found in the vicinity of their longhouse. Several internationally recognized and award-winning weavers reside within this community. Rumah Gare will be collaborating with designer Edric Ong for this collection.
