Nestled in Kuching, The Ranee of Sarawak is a beacon of Malaysia's rich heritage. Founded by Rosemarie Wong, who studied at Central St.Martins and Chelsea College of Art & Design, The Ranee uniquely merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. As we approach Malaysia Day celebrations, we spotlight this cultural jewel and its commitment to preserving local arts and heritage.
