HABIB'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY DIAMOND JUBILEE CELEBRATION

When I was small I always heard so much about HABIB, Malaysia’s premier homegrown jeweller.. and I always thought of it as exclusive and only for the rich and famous... and I guess it was in some ways... but well, it does have many affordable pieces as well as lovely accessories from the Habib group, which I simply adore.....

Anyway, Habib marked its 60th anniversary celebration with the unveiling of its “Heritage Journey” showcase, featuring exclusive and super gorgeous heritage jewellery pieces that drew inspiration from Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage... 

HABIB is well known with exquisite fine jewellery and perfect craftmanship, epitomising the brand’s unwavering commitment to delivering world-class designs... 

So well.. if you are around Mutiara Damansara area.. be sure to drop by  The Curve's Centre Court where you can find The Heritage Journey with Malaysia’s largest antique jewellery collection on display... not only to commemorate the diamond anniversary of the internationally-renowned jeweller, but also to take visitors 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....

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. 

“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.

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 is a fully integrated jewellery company involved in wholesale, retail, manufacturing, microfinancing and distribution. HABIB’s clientele stretches from Malaysia to Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, the United States of America and Europe. It is now a brand in its own right, embodying the best of Malaysian creativity, innovation, craftmanship and value...

Guests were also treated to a dazzling fashion show that showcased HABIB’s evolution, expertise and style through different eras. The 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.

The fashion show also featured the latest collections from HABIB Group, including designs from Hearts On Fire®, Pandora, Ice-Watch, as well as Les Georgettes by Altesse, and Stephen Webster.

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.

The event ended on a high note as attendees and onlookers alike caught a glimpse of 60 years of jewellery history, courtesy of HABIB....and I am telling you it is plain amazing...
