WELCOME MESSAGE
It has been a long journey for me personally developing PUNGUBORNEO into the brand that it is today. It all started out with fixing old necklaces for the family before big celebrations. The joy of recreating and fixing old family heirlooms always brought a smile to my heart. After years in the corporate world, i have always felt that something was missing, the final call came when i realised the value and importance of conservation as well as development of these traditional crafts.
Fast forward to 2023, being a crafts entrepreneur and social enterprise founder has given me the joy, satisfaction and life quality that i was always seeking for. This is the feeling and experience i want others to experience and achieve.
The humble beginnings of PUNGUBORNEO was based on the urge to preserve culture through arts and craft. We want to modernise our craft and grow globally while at the same time strive to protect and preserve the old methods as well as processes with the help of digital technology.
