While walking along the narrow Heeren Street in Melaka, I peeped through the window of one of the old houses. I was caught by surprise to discover a beaded shoes shop! These houses are over a century old. The shop owner didn't bother to decorate or renovate the shop to make it more attractive. It's really bare, basic display of their beautifully hand-crafted beaded shoes.
These shoes are expensive because the beads are hand-sewn, instead of using machine. It's really tedious to sew every tiny, colourful bead to form a complete pattern. They are beautiful and if you are in Melaka, you should check them out!

Very interesting shop. Oh yes, my sister bought a pair in Malacca few years back when we went visiting. It really was costly.
