Many asked why we do what we do. The fact is, we did not choose Mangrove, we are no experts to be the voice for her, but somehow she chose us! We only chose to want to slow down and to allow nature taking its cause. Along the way we learn and we learn, staying faithful to the calling, although its not proving lucrative, but we are reworded in so many ways, open to see how long can we go on with this adventure!

THE BRAND

In the 1950s, fishermen strengthened their jute nets using mangrove tannin dye. In 2019, we stumbled upon this lost tradition, created Xiapism.

在50年代,馬來西亞漁夫用紅樹皮染法讓漁網更持久耐用。在2019年,我們遇見了這古法,創造了樹皮色。
