KUALA LUMPUR: The traditional baju Melayu for men, designed by actor Erry Putra, became the talk of Netizens recently.
A unique pattern, many view it as a top akin to those usually worn by nursing moms.
However, Erry isn’t perturbed by the criticism and is enjoying basking in the “limelight”.
The 40-year-old Kelantan-born artiste recently wrote on his Instagram that the sale of the traditional attire has been brisk.
“Haha kena viral pasal baju saputra..its okey itu hanya sedikit ujian…saja nk cari kelainan dlm baju raya tahun ni..biasa ada suka ada tak..yg mana suka syukur..yg mana tak suka alhamdulillah hahaha…apa pun jualan kini dan makin byk dan stock pun byk da habis. Amin..hehe"
(I’m fine that the baju Melayu went viral due to its unique design. I just wanted to sell something different. While some may not like it, some do, and sales have picked up. Amen.)
For this collection which is specifically produced the upcoming festive season, Erry collaborated with UA Butik.
