About a week ago, I was invited to the store opening of FES Butik in Kg Lambak. I told Ms FES Butik herself that it's pretty impressive that, what started out as a Facebook store has grown so much to actually open a real live store within a year! "And yes, FES Butik." I told her. "I'd definitely be there."

I may not be all that familiar with the various kains available, but I do know what's gorgeous when I see it. I'm so used to printed silk or similar materials, so the Kain Sulam is something different to me.

But rather yakking on and on about it, I think pictures can convey more than a bunch of words. :)

The possibilities with its elegant embroidered designs! The Kain Sulam looks really elegant, with its minimalistic design. The various designs depends a lot on its play on color, but only in a few shades per design, which is what I mean by minimalistic.

Added with the embellishments, the Kain Sulam offers so much choices of classy baju fashion! Definitely my next baju fashion experimentation project.

As I sat down with Ms FES Butik, I also can't help feeling how cozy and inviting the store looks, which is a feat since the store is not that large.

There's a cushioned polished-wood bench with multi-coloured cushions at one side of the room with a small zen-like water fountain beside it. Paintings of flowers adorn the wall and a red lotus-head standing lamp in a corner.

It feels more like a living room actually, a classy one at that too. :) Which I guess, contributed to me spending more than an hour in the store, just chatting with Ms FES Butik and talking about which baju fashion design would show off the Kain Sulam.

FES Butik is not that difficult to find. If you've been to London Kebab Casbah, Jenny's The Cabana or Tasconi's Pizza in Kg Lambak, Berakas, that's where FES Butik is!

If you're still not sure of how to get there, I took the liberty to show you through the Google Maps below.

What's great is that FES Butik has special offers often, which allows you to purchase your kains at a lower price. If you want to take advantage of the special prices, keep a lookout for announcements on FES Butik's Facebook. The special offer periods are only available for a limited period of time, so you may not want to miss out.

I'd also like to thank FES Butik for being so kind to show me around her store and giving me tips on baju fashion designs. And when I find my magical tailor, I will know which store I'm going to visit first!

Toodles! xoxoxo
