Bump up your style with Nurliza’s eco-print bags
A Passion Project Turned Business
For single mother Nurliza Nis Naim, her home-based craft business, My Rizqy Empire, is more than just a means to make a living – it’s a source of joy and fulfillment.
From Eco-Printing to Entrepreneurship
Nurliza crafts tote bags, kiss lock bags, pouches, and more, using cotton fabric and leaves from trees like papaya, guava, and teak. The process of eco-printing is therapeutic for her, bringing her a sense of peace amidst her many responsibilities.
A Business that Provides Flexibility and Fulfillment
As a single mother of four, Nurliza’s business provides her with the flexibility to be physically at home where she’s needed while still earning an income. She also uses her business to equip her 25-year-old autistic son with valuable skills he can use.
Step-by-Step Process of Eco-Printing
Nurliza uses a combination of natural dyes and leaves to create unique prints on her fabric. She selects the leaves, arranges them on the fabric, rolls it up tightly, and steams it. The most exciting part of the process is unrolling the fabric after it’s steamed to discover the prints that have been created.
From Local to Global
Nurliza’s business has grown since she joined the Khadijah Artisans Mentoring Program, which provides women artisans from low-income backgrounds with guidance and support. Her products are now available at PPA’s outlet in Berjaya Times Square, and she’s been invited to showcase her products at the Expo 2025 in Japan.
Conclusion
Nurliza’s passion for eco-printing has turned into a successful business, providing her with a sense of fulfillment and financial stability. She’s also inspired to share her knowledge with others, teaching eco-printing classes and equipping individuals with special needs with valuable skills.
