恩師の紹介で訪問しました。インドネシアの島々の伝統的な織物、染め物を販売し、伝統の保護と作り手の生活を支えるというお店のようです。どれも丁寧な手仕事で魅力的な作品ばかり。このお店で商品を買うと、その品のバックグラウンドがわかるカードと、作り手の写真がついてくるので、より一層愛着がわきます。なかなか頻繁には行けない場所ですが、また是非訪れたいです。 more »

A must visit for anyone with a love of textiles. What an incredible value to humankind that threads of life are preserving textile processes that were facing imminent extinction, as well as providing insight to the beauty and meaning of the remarkable pieces on display.

It was the last day of my trip and I happened to come across this boutique. It's usp is it promotes traditional art form of weaving and dying cloth. Technique which is passed on from generation to generation. Although I did not buy anything which I regret but I greatly admired the collection. I did pick up the brochure. This is a must place to visit.
