Gambo Muba is a typical cloth of the jumputan method, dyed with gambier sap which was initially considered waste and thrown away for nothing. Now the husband and wife Dodi-Thia are able to encourage gambier craftsmen by turning waste into the main dye of cloth. As an Eco fashion product, Gambo Muba uses 100 percent natural, anti-chemical dyes.
This also answers the international issue that more than 50 percent of chemical waste comes from textile waste. Gambo Muba is an alternative action and Muba's contribution to the textile world, this product does not produce chemical waste but uses gambier sap waste as Gambo Muba's natural dye.
