More than 40 shops selling textiles along a one-kilometre stretch of Jalan Payamas, Tangkak. Talk about choices! With more than 40 shops selling textiles along a one-kilometre stretch of Jalan Payamas, Tangkak earned its nickname, Textile Town, the shopping destination for quality fabrics.
In the early 1990s, a group of young cloth merchants who had learnt their trade from working in other parts of the country, decided to apply their skills by starting a textile business here. These local traders successfully secured fabric deals from the world over and were able to resell them at competitive prices.
The wide range and good prices garnered a regular clientele who enjoy shopping for fabrics in a virtual textile heaven, particularly during pre-festive seasons. Be prepared to be dazzled by the choices because there are fabrics for every purpose, from home décor, drapes, outfits, trousseaus to handicraft needs.
