187 years since its establishment, Yamatou strives to work on developing new technologies. Eventually, they succeeded in creating 'washable silk'.
Although silk has a very smooth and soft texture, it wrinkles and shrinks easily when washed as its strong natural fibres loses strength when it comes into contact with water. So, with 'Washable Silk Hijab', this innovation actually eliminates these drawbacks.

We, at Melo! wish to let people across Southeast Asia experience Yamatou's traditional and innovative technology. With that, we decided to kickstart this "Washable Silk Hijab" project.
