Catalogue - Weaving Stories of Indonesia: Lembata NTT

This collection takes its inspiration from Lembata in Nusa Tenggara Timur, a land that celebrates the mosaic of colours from nature; from the blue of the sky and the vast ocean; to the crimson of the picturesque sunsets and the green from the forest, surviving despite the arid climate.
Weaving from Lembata is famous for its distinctive motifs, namely Penetoten and Mowak. The unique geometric shapes of the Penetoten was reinvented in form of detailed shapes throughout this collection. The design concept underlines the pricelessness of cultural heritage and the ingenuity of Lembata. This collection also aims to drive awareness towards the importance of women in rural societies. We also wish to honour diversity and inclusiveness of this archipelago of Indonesia, by incorporating, H to A silhouettes, and styles that cater to different female body types. To further emphasis practicality, functionality and utility of our new line, we are offering a range that covers urban wear, travel wear, resort wear and ethnic wear. Finally, we pay our respects to the driving force and to the embodiment of spirit of resilience; the women weavers, Ina-Ina from our communities in Lembata.
