Peranakan beaded slippers

It refers to beaded slippers worn by a nyonya to complete her Sarong Kebaya outfit, together with chained brooches (kerosang) and a silver belt (tali pending).

[2] The beaded slippers were worn by both the Peranakan males (baba)[3] and females (nyonya) and were popular in the 1930s.

These motifs, likely to appeal to the femininity of the Peranakan women, had both European and Chinese influence.

To sew the pattern, a laced-up wooden frame (pidangan)[4] is used to provide the right tension for the beading.

Leather is usually the preferred material for the beaded slippers, and may be either made with low or high heels.
