and add a picture next to it.
1.
Collecting
Lifeline Clothing Malaysia Sdn Bhd (LLCM) collect unwanted textiles in Malaysia. They do that through the many collection bins dotted around Malaysia but also by working closely with communities and holding events.
The Baju kurung used for this upcycling initiative, collected by LLCM, are mostly made from polyester, therefore making it difficult to recycle, hence the birth of U4B upcycled baju bags.

3.
Sorting
Cutting
Australia Textiles Manufacturing Malaysia Sdn Bhd (ATMM) sorts the used textiles into over 500 different categories in Port Klang, Malaysia.
Every week they receive tonnes of brightly coloured Baju Kurung. The Baju Kurung will either come as a pair or as a single item.
Due to the size of the fabric used in Baju Kurung, it makes it easier for our cutters and sewers to work with and helps us offer consistency.
Australian Textiles Manufacturing Malaysia is the only ISO-certified textile processing company in Malaysia.
They work with numerous talented designers in Malaysia who create the patterns and designs so that they can cut the baju kurungs in house, making the end product more environmentally friendly, as waste
material is recycled instead of thrown away,
4.
Stitching
We have agreements in place with academies, sewing schools and various members of the B40 class in Malaysia for them to stitch and make our baju kurung bags.
This means that with your purchase, you are supporting an everyday person who can then in turn, support their family.
Our bags are by the people, for the people
