Raised in Taiping, a town celebrated for its artisanal heritage, Malaysian actress and model Mimi Lana developed a deep appreciation for culture and the arts. Known for her elegance, versatility, and strong screen presence, she has become a prominent figure in Malaysia’s entertainment scene.
"Malaysia’s creative spirit shines through the work of our local artisans, who combine age-old traditions with contemporary flair.From handwoven rattan furniture to expressive floral designs and beautifully crafted pottery, these makers reflect the richness of Malaysian culture. Growing up in Taiping, I was exposed to a rich culture of artisans and craftsmanship from an early age. Their passion and stories have deeply inspired me, and I’ve developed a profound appreciation for their work."
