Hi everyone,

As someone who grew up in Indonesia, I鈥檝e always admired how rich and colorful our traditions are. It made me wonder: how can we keep these cultural stories alive in our daily lives?

Recently, I started a small initiative exploring this question through fashion using sustainable materials and designs inspired by nature and local heritage. For me, it鈥檚 not about clothing itself, but about how something we wear every day can carry meaning and give back to communities.

I鈥檓 curious to hear your thoughts:

Do you think fashion can be a tool for cultural preservation?

Have you come across similar initiatives here or elsewhere?

Would love to exchange ideas and learn from your experiences.
