Our Journey
Beginning
Back then, Nella Odelia began in 2016 with just a love for sewing. What started as a small home hobby grew into a dream of making fashion more meaningful and purposeful.
Heart
Because of this, we train people of all ages to upcycle leftover materials, then invite many to join our team with fair pay and meaningful work that values skill and creativity.
Mission
Above all, we believe fashion should tell a story. By using leftover fabrics with Sabah’s traditional designs, we create fresh, simple pieces that stay true to our roots. Showing that beauty can come from renewal.
Impact
From day one, we’ve turned discarded fabrics into new creations and opened doors for communities to learn skills and earn income.
Together, every piece moves us toward sustainability, empowerment, and fashion that cares for people, culture, and the earth.
