Orang Ulu Baby Carrier

Sure korang pelik kan ngan posting aku ..hehehe ..sebenar nyer aku dah lama cari baby carrier yang orang ulu (salah satu suku kaum di sarawak) buat ...bukan apa, org ulu punya baby carrier is very unique ..ianya bukan setakat perhiasan but it is actually used to carry a baby ...aku cari sebab my dad beriya2 nak buat "tribal corner" kat satu sudut kat rumah aku ..kan aritu dah beli tikar rotan Penan, then dah ada bakul Bidayuh ...so, he is excited that I managed to get this, at long last!


First saw one betul2 masa aku travelling kat area Loagan Bunut in 2007..ada makcik tu buat, aku mmg nak beli but makcik tu tak nak jual plak ..katanya dia dah tak brapa sihat, penglihatan kabur ..so nak simpan that baby carrier utk bagi kat anak cucu dia ...then my usaha utk cari baby carrier nie tak pernah membuahkan hasil ...kalau harga nya ok, design nyer plak tak berkenaan di mata aku ...kalau yang berkenan plak, harga beyond my willingness to pay ...hehehe one of this thing can reach over 1k tau esp kalau dia jual kat area2 tourist!!!

And aku beli this one from an aquaintance, Knot - who is an orang ulu - and yang buat this carrier for me is her own sister ..so, mine is an authentic design made by org ulu ok! Bukan apa, byk baby carrier - supposedly made by org ulu but actually made in indonesia! Price wise mmg cheaper ...but quality cannot be guaranteed. By the way, org ulu dengan manik2 nie mmg sinonim ...they are the experts in these types of handicrafts ..but bagi diorang, they incorporated these beads dalam benda2 yang diorang pakai hari2 ...


My mum kena paksa jadi model utk menggayakan how this carrier berfungsi as baby carrier ...


rasa tak best kalau nampak kosong, so pretend le Barney the purple dinasour tu baby betul ok ...


and belakang carrier tu rupanyer cam nie...yang kayu tu le tempat baby duduk ...
