Carrying a piece of local heritage with every NOBAT bag

NOBAT: Where the Past Shapes the Present

Nobat began in 2020 — not as a brand, but as a shared vision between two artisans grounded in the cultural soil of Malaysia. Our purpose has never been merely to create, but to honour: to weave tradition into modern form, and memory into design.

With love for every detail

We believe fashion is a living tribute — a continuation of stories passed down through hands, time, and place. At Nobat, versatility lies at the heart of every piece, moving seamlessly from everyday moments to meaningful occasions. Each bag carries quiet echoes of heritage, reimagined with contemporary elegance. Inspired by the royal language of the Malay courts, Nobat takes its name from the ceremonial drums once played to mark the crowning of kings. Those rhythms signified presence, dignity, and reverence — values we carry into every creation.

Versatile bags for daily wear and special occasions

Central to our identity is anyaman, a traditional craft deeply rooted in Malaysian culture. More than a technique, it is a bond — a dialogue between patience and precision, between the maker and the land. Every woven element is cut, shaped, and assembled by hand, piece by piece, in-house — preserving not only form, but intention. We work with carefully selected materials, from the textured strength of ostrich PVC to the organic beauty of woven surfaces. Each detail reflects our respect for craftsmanship, nature, and the human touch behind every bag.
A Nobat bag is more than an accessory. It is a vessel of cultural memory — bridging local artistry with a global sensibility. Rooted in Malaysia, carried into the world.
This is not simply a collection.

It is a continuation.
A dialogue between past and present — told through craft, care, and quiet confidence.
