Eva Olivia Johnius ensembled her Sabung Labuk costume with RM3,300 Bawal Ratu scarf, adorned with colourful Swarovski stones and a custom-made handbag featuring traditional motifs.
“I attended a Kaamatan Festival in Telupid with my husband last year and saw the Sabung Labuk costume. I fell in love with its colourful handmade embroidery, which is different from any other traditional costume I have ever seen. The Sabung Labuk, which originated from Kampung Kuala Sapi, Beluran, is not merely traditional attire but also a symbol of Dusun Labuk culture, history, and tradition.
