Jo Wong Seok Wei, 47, and her husband Lim Beng Chee, 53, started exploring the use of natural dye from mangrove barks about two years ago and have since produced their own line of natural fashion and lifestyle products.
Beng Chee recalled that about two years ago, they attended many workshops in Kuala Lumpur, Perak and even went to Thailand to learn about natural dyeing techniques.
