  • Myanmar’s ancient royal top-knots and headdresses to be revived

The ceremonial royal top-knot style and headdresses from the era of ancient Myanmar kings have been recreated by the Myat Taw Win traditional outfit-making service.
These traditional styles have been revisited so that Myanmar people can wear them in their auspicious novitiate, ear-boring and wedding ceremonies.
These ornaments were remade by Myat Taw Win using pure silver, gold plating, and gilding art, according to the service. For those who love Myanmar culture and want to preserve it by wearing traditional Acheik and double-length longyis in weddings and cultural ceremonies, the Myat Taw Win has produced both ready-made and cut fabric pieces based on the proportions, colour combinations, and Acheik designs of ancient Myanmar dresses.
Recently, there has been more interest among young people in Myanmar’s cultural clothing and attire, as well as interest from both domestic and foreign countries. — MT/ZN/Ed
