From Civilization to Fashion

Traditional Indonesian textiles, such as Batik and Tenun, originated long ago from regions such as Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, the Eastern part of Indonesia including Papua and Kalimantan. 
They continue to be utilized in everyday life today. These fabrics were initially designed to accompany customary ceremonies, marking significant life milestones such as birth, marriage, and death. 
They were even donned during royal coronations, temple, or kingdom anniversaries. Therefore, it is more accurate to refer to these traditional textiles as Fabrics of Civilization.

These materials have consistently adapted over time. 
Nowadays, numerous innovations have been introduced to align with current trends, including modifications in color and patterns, yet still adhering to traditional standards.
