The Beautiful Meaning behind “Bungkus of Happiness”

The inspiration for “Bungkus of Happiness” comes from the designer’s childhood memories.

“The word “bungkus” (wrap) cognates many images for me. My earliest memory was how clothes were “bungkus” for the laundry lady and it all comes back in the same fabric crisp and clean with the scent of freshly-ironed clothes,” she reminisced.

She said in the villages then, stacks of plates were wrapped in fabric kept in the community centre and would only be brought out during special functions or celebrations.

To Dato’ Tom Abang Saufi, “bungkus” represents love and cherish. She said the use of fabric to wrap items was used in most cultures. And often, the richer the fabric, the more pronounced the present inside would be.

“I can virtually see my late mother smiling as she unwrapped a bungkus of precious fine batik,” she added.

Since founded, Baskin Robbins has been a favourite to many around the world. Baskin Robbins has near to 31 years of history in Malaysia while Dato’ Tom Abang Saufi has been designing for more than 35 years.

“It’s our pasts that inspire us, and we need to keep injecting new life into our traditions. TAS’s mantra is to keep our customers contemporary, chic and classy. We are happy to collaborate with Baskin Robbins, to allow customers unwrap the beautiful “Bungkus of Happiness” and reveal the delicious ice-creams inside and share their happiness with their family,” she said.

The “Bungkus of Happiness” wrap were designed by Dato’ Tom Abang Saufi especially for Hari Raya. Thus, the wrap integrates both the Malays tradition and Baskin Robbins’ culture. 

Ketupat is a traditional Malay delicacies and a popular Raya food. Dato’ Tom uses various colours to represent the woven palm leaf to bring out the gentleness in it.
