Recently HABIB celebrated its 60th anniversary with the
unveiling of its “Heritage Journey” showcase, featuring exclusive heritage
jewellery pieces that drew inspiration from Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage. The
Heritage Journey which runs from 1 to 11 November at Centre Court, The Curve –
showcases Malaysia’s largest antique jewellery collection, not only to
commemorate the diamond anniversary of the internationally-renowned jeweller,
but also to take us on a heritage journey that traces HABIB’s humble
beginnings to Datuk Haji Habib Mohamed Abdul Latif, who founded the
family-owned business in 1958 with a small jewellery shop nestled along
Penang’s famed ‘Jewellers Corner’ on Pitt Street.

“In line with the 60th year celebration and to showcase our years of entrepreneurial ingenuity and commitment to excellence, we are delighted to offer visitors an intimate look at the exquisite heritage pieces from the original HABIB collection. Each has an emotional story behind it, and we invite everyone to rediscover our history and the values that led to the creations of HABIB’s trademark masterpieces,” commented Dato’ Sri Meer Sadik Habib, Managing Director of HABIB Group.

Today, the double-storey
shop – which features Jawi Peranakan interior and architectural designs – still
strongly stands as a tribute to the man behind the HABIB brand, with the top
floor beautifully adapted into the HABIB Heritage Gallery, featuring over 1,000
pieces of exquisite jewellery dating back as far as 100 years.

During HABIB’s 60th Anniversary Celebration, a nostalgic, yet glamorous fashion show was inspired and styled according to the different eras. The main highlight of the event featured one of HABIB’s stunning jewellery pieces, which was adorned by none other than Zahirah Macwilson, who graced the catwalk as a special celebrity guest.

He added, “My
father was a man with unconventional ideas who served as a testament that
anything was achievable through hard work and determination. HABIB, which he
started from zero, has evolved into much more than the jewellery business of 60
years ago, and I’m hopeful that the HABIB legacy will continue as we uphold our
promise of being ‘The gift of Happiness’ for many more decades to come. We are
your heritage jeweller that will cater to your every need and will customise to
suit your exquisite desires”.
Today, HABIB has
emerged as a fully integrated jewellery company involved in wholesale, retail,
manufacturing, microfinancing and distribution. HABIB’s The
Heritage Journey Celebration will be followed with a second showcase at IOI
City Mall, Putrajaya from 24 November to 2 December 2018.
