Carrying a piece of local heritage with every NOBAT bag

Nobat: Where Stories of the Past Shape Modern Creations

Nobat began in 2020, not as a brand, but as a vision—a vision shared by two artisans rooted in the rich cultural soil of Malaysia. Our mission is not merely to create, but to honor, weaving threads of tradition into the fabric of modern design. We see fashion as a living tribute to the stories of our ancestors, reimagined for today’s world.

Versatility is the heartbeat of Nobat. Our bags transform with ease, from the quiet moments of daily life to the grand stages of special occasions. Each piece whispers stories of heritage, yet sings with the elegance of the present. We create not just for function, but for meaning—each design is a reflection of the balance between heritage and innovation.

Inspired by the royal language of the Malay courts, the name Nobat reverberates with the echoes of ceremonial drums that once heralded the crowning of kings. Just as those drums marked moments of grandeur, so too does every Nobat creation—infused with the regal grace that we seek to bring into the world.

With love for every detail

Woven into the very fabric of our bags is not just material, but the spirit of Malaysia. At Nobat, we are deeply rooted in the artistry of anyaman, a craft as old as time itself, passed down through generations. To us, it’s more than a technique—it’s a bond, a living tradition that speaks of patience, precision, and a love for the land that has shaped us.

With each meticulously crafted pattern, anyaman tells a story of where we come from and who we are. It’s a silent conversation between the hands of our artisans and the heart of the earth. This weaving process doesn’t just create bags; it breathes life into them, connecting us to the legacy of Malaysian artisanship.

We take immense pride in using a range of carefully selected materials, from the textured elegance of ostrich PVC to the natural beauty of anyaman. At Nobat, we believe that our bags are more than fashion—they are a living embodiment of tradition, nature, and the human spirit.

Versatile bags for daily wear and special occasions

Immerse yourself in the intricate details that embody the soul of Malaysia in every thread. A Nobat bag is more than an accessory—it is a vessel of cultural heritage, bridging local craftsmanship with global appeal. Each piece speaks a universal language, making a statement that crosses borders and resonates deeply, no matter where it’s carried.

At Nobat, every creation is painstakingly handcrafted in-house, representing a perfect harmony of authenticity and modern elegance. We honor tradition while embracing contemporary design, crafting pieces that not only transcend fashion but tell stories. This is more than a collection—it’s a cultural movement, a symbol of the Malaysian spirit, connecting the past with the present, from Malaysia to the world.
