The traditional Lunar New Year red packet has been transformed this year into a timeless keepsake that represents longevity, where the packaging itself is as meaningful as what is inside. The dignity-pao – a classic and versatile batik envelope for gifting cash – from Dignity for Children Foundation will make a wonderful and truly Malaysian statement this Lunar New Year.
The red batik fabric envelopes add a nyonya touch to the traditional paper packets than can now be kept as a treasured, meaningful keepsake. Produced by Dignity’s Transformational Enterprise, sew X dignity in the heart of Sentul, the reusable dignity-pao is designed and manufactured internally, allowing the youths learn the fundamentals of design, sewing, and crafting.
Each dignity-pao is carefully hand-cut, stitched, right down to the handmade button, and then packed together by refugee crafters and Dignity students training at the social enterprise. All proceeds go back to provide quality education to underprivileged children through the Foundation – self-sustainability in its own way.
Pre-order the bespoke packets for a meaningful celebration of giving while being sustainable this festive season at just RM50 for a set of five. Choose from the sets of Golden or Classic Red (Golden comes multi-coloured while Classic Red comes in red and batik). Order yours online from http://tiny.cc/dignitypao2020 or call +6018 789 6206.
