Kuala Lumpur, 7 August 2025 – I was among the first to arrive at the ANAABU™ x Teleport launch last week at Kedai Fizikal ANAABU™ in Kuala Lumpur. It was around 6:30pm, and the facade was already buzzing with energy — staff from both brands dressed head-to-toe in black (very likely ANAABU™ pieces) and looking effortlessly cool. Blue neon lights cut through the evening glow, highlighting the new collaboration. Honestly, a fashion brand teaming up with a logistics company wasn’t something I had on my bingo card — but this one makes sense in ways I didn’t expect.
If you’re new to the name, Teleport is Southeast Asia’s eCommerce logistics specialist. Founded in 2018 as AirAsia’s logistics venture, they’ve grown into the region’s leading integrated solutions provider — moving shipments of all sizes into both primary and secondary cities. Their mission is simple but ambitious: to move things better than anyone else across Southeast Asia, and to make next-day delivery a reality.
Teleport operates the region’s largest air logistics network through a unique hybrid model: their own freighters, third-party airline partners, and exclusive access to belly space on AirAsia passenger flights. Beyond the mid-mile, they’ve built a growing multi-modal fleet to handle everything from first to last mile, serving businesses, marketplaces, and forwarders alike. It’s all driven by what they call “The Teleport Way” — a mix of urgency, intent, and authenticity.
PORTALWEAR is their first fashion collaboration, created with ANAABU™, the Malaysian unisex clothing label known for its intentional design and loyal following. On paper, it’s an unlikely match. In reality, it’s a shared ethos: purposeful design, seamless movement, and a community-first mindset. This collection is built for people who move — in cities, across borders, or simply through different parts of their day — and want to do it in style.
The line-up is compact but clever: the Boxy Tee, the Straight Pants, and my personal favourite — the Utility Vest Tote. All come in an all-black palette with subtle pops of Teleport’s Future Blue, and each piece has design details unique to this drop. The standout motif is the ULD pocket — shaped after cargo containers used in air logistics — complete with a D-ring to hook on keys or other small essentials. It’s a functional detail and a direct nod to Teleport’s roots.
The Boxy Tee has a relaxed, easy silhouette that works on anyone. The Straight Pants — a reimagined cargo — come in water-resistant nylon with deep utility pockets, a built-in adjustable belt, and a buckle closure for a secure fit. And the Utility Vest Tote? It’s part vest, part tote, part sling bag, and transforms seamlessly depending on what you need, thanks to multi-functional patch pockets and a zip hem closure.
PORTALWEAR isn’t just merch from a cool collab; it’s a smart fusion of movement and design. Available now online at anaabu.co and in-store at Kedai Fizikal, it’s proof that when two very different industries share the same values, the results can be surprisingly wearable.
