2tomatoes 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 You can rent Kuas in Klang Valley from Loh Tim Kee (near Petaling Street) and also at some of the small chinese bridal shops along Puchong and Kinrara. There are two types of Kua, the gold thread version and the beaded version. Gold Thread versions rent for about RMRM500 to RM800 and beaded versions rent for RM300 to RM500 (I think). I had problems renting a Kua during my AD last year because they were all very old-looking (looks like its been used many times) for the price you pay to rent them. And so I decided to get mine from Hong Kong instead as I had a good friend living there who arranged for me.To buy a Kuq in HK will cost between RM1500 to RM3000 on average but I saw some Kuas that cost RM10,000 also. I hear you can buy them for very cheap in China but I'm not sure from where.I can rent out my Gold-thread Kua if anyone is interested. I wear a size M. PM me your email and I will send you pics of my Kua. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have ordered 1 kua for my fren, but she can't fit as she has been put on weight a lot after pregnant so, if you are interested to see the Kwa, let me know ya....

Drimy3131 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2011 The golden thread Kua is nicer than those with just beadings! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olivyap 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Yup I think Golden tread kua is very expensive in the market. I think we should keep it. I keep my kua which design by my mother. She and I hand beaded the kua. I like it cuz it have the modern touch and still retain the traditional feel in the kua. I'm planning to pass it down to my next generation. I'm very proud of my mother creation and I hope I'm able to pass it on to my next generation. :)At the same time, I m considering to rent it out to the right one... no altering. Anyone interested can view the blog http://craftstoys.blogspot.com/2011/11/kua-for-rental.html or pm me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roseisrose 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2012 hi BTBs i dropped by weddingisle a few weeks back to buy hair accessories. while i was there, i saw many kua for rent - starting from RM300 (least beadings) onwards. i must say the kua are quite good looking. i would rent from there if i wanna wear kua. :) alternatively, if you wanna MTM, i will recommend www.iamabride.com. i made a qipao from there and like it very much. i ended making my wedding and evening gown from them too. :) hope this info helps. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
