Photo of the day: The careful art of ‘capal’ crafting

8:15 PM MYT

 

SHOEMAKER Rizuan Wahab of Capal Kancil Emas focuses on completing custom “capal” orders as Aidilfitri approaches.

Every year, this store, located in a shopping mall in Keramat, would receive orders as early as three months before Ramadan – unsurprising for one of the most renowned capal suppliers in Klang Valley, operating since 1969. 

The capal, or traditional open-toe leather sandals, are a popular men’s footwear choice for Aidilfitri due to their convenience, apart from their sleek and casual look.

The sandals are the perfect match for traditional clothes like Baju Melayu, Saudi-inspired robes, or South Asian-inspired kurtas – making sure the wearers drip with style during Aidilfitri. – April 1, 2024
