Reviving the traditional mangrove dyeing techniques for the modern world.
Xiapism is a Malaysian lifestyle brand inspired by the 1950s practice where local fishermen used mangrove tannin to strengthen their jute nets. Xiapism reimagines this heritage craft for the modern world. Their signature “brown palette” embodies a commitment to sustainability, cultural preservation, and mindful living, through lifestyle designs and art installations.
