Nantuapan Lightweight Open Front Cardigan
This unisex open cardigan is designed for effortless layering, combining modern style with meaningful Sabah pattern. Inspired by the Nantuapan motif of the Murut Tahol community, this Corak Sabah carries two interpretations. In one story, the word Nantuapan is associated with epilepsy, linked to a legend about weavers who fell ill after working without rest, reminding us about balance and mindfulness. Another interpretation understands it as gathering, symbolising unity and gratitude within the community.
Printed with a batik inspired feel, this cardigan reimagines traditional Sabah motif into a contemporary piece made for everyday wear. Crafted from lightweight and breathable rayon, it drapes comfortably over the body, making it suitable for warm weather. Style it over a sleeveless dress for the office, pair it with jeans for travel, or wear it as a statement accessory that carries cultural meaning. It also makes a thoughtful Sabah souvenir for those who appreciate fashion rooted in heritage.
