No Nyonya clothing will be complete without a
pair of beaded shoes called Kasot Manek. Kasot Manekwere
hand-made made with much skill and patience: strung, beaded and sewn onto
canvas with tiny faceted glass beads. Traditional Kasot Manek design
often have European floral subjects, with colors influenced by Peranakan
porcelain and batik sarongs. They were made onto flats or bedroom slippers. But
from the 1930s, modern shapes became popular and heels were added.
