This study utilised the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Kansei Engineering to assess the design elements of traditional Nyonya Kebaya. Based on expert interviews and surveys, it identified four primary indicators—colour, pattern, structure, and technique—and 16 secondary indicators. AHP was used to determine the weights and assess consistency. Results indicated that colour and technique are the most influential, with weights of 0.347 and 0.266. The secondary indicators "Bright," "Exquisite," "Elegant," and "Slim" were found to impact consumer perception significantly.
