Malacca costumes

The Early Traders and Merchants in Malacca

 


Malacca is appealing due to its rich and vibrant past.
Malacca is renowned as the place where the history of Malaysia began.
From a quiet fishing village back in the early 15th Century, Malacca grew into one of the world's greatest trading empires. 
Merchants came from as far as Arabia, India and Europe to trade in silk, spices, gold and procelain.

The picture above shows the attire worn by the early traders and merchants.
