Description

This forest camouflaged colored bujam (the Mah Meri pouch) is woven from hake’ (pandanus) leaves. 

Each bujam is handmade and one of a kind

The bujam is traditionally used to carry tobacco leaves and rolled tobacco, betel nuts, coins and money. It comes with an inner coarser-woven lining of pandanus for durability. 



The motif woven into the bujam is that of the 'gedek' or horse shoe crab motif, as the pattern looks like the markings in the sand made by the horse shoe crab.

This bujam can be used as a unique iPod case to protect your iPod from scratches and dust. It can also be used as an all-purpose carry pouch to store mobile phone, name cards, petty cash, keys and loose coins.
