yes the hats are indeed beautiful. the mentioned orang ulu hat here (in the picture) is commonly known among the lun bawang community whereas the ’sa’ong’ which is also a type of orang ulu hat is commonly known among the kayan & kenyah community.

i’ll put the ’sa’ong’ pic and notify you one of this day ok.

Hi Ladybird, good morning!
I was at a handicraft centre yesterday where similar hats were sold. I was informedd that these were indeed Orang Ulu hats. The Melanau hats have different designs. I will post one Melanau hat photo to show you later.
TQ. Have a great weekend.

TQ Ladybird. I am extremely delighted to hear your feedback. Oh they were Melanau hats, were they? I am awfully sorry for the mistake. Pls do keep in touch.
Aren’t they just beautiful, LAdybird?

yb,
that is not an orang ulu hat. that hat is commonly found and made by the melanau race. a tradisional hat made by the orang ulu is known as ’sa’ong’.

by the way, i liked your blog and do keep it up.
