Peranakans trace their origins to 15th-century Malacca where their ancestors thought to be Chinese traders who married local women. The term Peranakan generally refers to people of mixed Chinese and Malay traditions with a touch of Portuguese, Dutch and Indonesian influences. It's culture refers to men as "baba" and ladies as "Nyonya"

Dress was a significant form of cultural and individual expressions of their kind. Apart from a whole repertoire of exquisite ornaments, jewellery, and intricately beaded footwear, they are famous for their beautiful Nyonya Kebayas - a traditional blouse-dress combination of intricate costume embroidery.
