We've said it once and we're saying it again: living sustainably doesn't mean you have to give up your love for anything, especially not fashion!
When it comes to fashion, sustainable living means changing where you buy your clothes while urging the global fashion industry to rethink its vision and strategies.
While some of them have been making genuine changes, it's not uncommon to see greenwashing happening under the fabrics, so we saved you some time and made a list of sustainable fashion brands in Jakarta who will not make a fool out of you.
1. Imaji Studio
IMAJI Studio aimed to stand out from the crowd by building a bridge between culture, art and nature. They work alongside fabric and dye artisans across Indonesia to produce unique motifs from plants sourced locally in the area where each motif is handmade by craftsmen and the designers to preserve and promote Indonesian culture.
2. Sejauh Mata Memandang
Sejauh Mata Memandang uses materials such as cotton, linen and tencel. Not only that, but they also embody the spirit of circularity by using recycled textiles made from pre-consumption waste that are processed into new materials.
3. Lanivatti
Lanivatti signature style taps into your sense of nostalgia and reconcile your love of nature. Most importantly, they believe that garments should be comfortable enough to withstand any travel conditions, durable enough to last for a lifetime and stylish and timeless enough to wear years to come. Together, they make beautiful modern classic garments while maintaining human and environmental integrity.
4. Hallah
Can you be active and activist at the same time? Hallah says yes!
"We have pledged to produce apparel in sync with nature. Instead of opting for fast fashion we adhere to sustainable fashion. The process starts from our fabrics which we choose with utmost care and diligence. Our apparel are made from fabric which are either organic, recycled or other smart fabrics....."
So the next time you're looking for a new workout fit, you know where to click.
5. Du Anyam
With the goal of economically empowering and improving the health of these women in rural areas around Indonesia, Du Anyam is a brand built upon the three pillars: Empower Women, Promote Culture, and Improve Livelihood. By working closely with the talented women of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Du Anyam creates wicker products through the most authentic craftsmanship.
