Nantuapan Motif

The Nantuapan Collection is inspired by the Nantuapan motif from the Murut Tahol tribe of Alutok, Tenom. Rooted in stories of gathering, unity, and balance, the motif reflects moments of gratitude shared after harvest and hunting, where men and women would come together around a jar of tapai. One legend tells of weavers so absorbed in creating this intricate pattern that they neglected rest and nourishment, eventually falling ill, reminding us to stay connected and present with one another while balancing passion and care.

This collection features menswear, womenswear, and everyday accessories inspired by the cultural heritage of Sabah. From mens shirts, women dresses, open cardigans, sleeveless dresses, and infinity scarves to thoughtfully designed lifestyle pieces, each item is created for modern use while carrying traditional inspiration.

Reimagined in contemporary silhouettes and crafted from breathable, environmentally considerate rayon, the Nantuapan Collection brings Sabah heritage into everyday wear and meaningful gifting, for both local and tourists seeking authentic Sabah-inspired gifts.
