Tenun
We love handmade products. The art of Tenun, by which one of the most ancient way of creating fabric have intrigued our interest. Besides its versatility in pattern and application it looks astoundingly beautiful. It also allows us to experiment and infuse different yarns into our fabric. Developing our fabric together with these local artisans has been the most enriching experience. Currently we are working with artisans from Bali and Garut to make our Bespoke textiles and our House blends
Tencel
Dubbed as fabric of the future, Textiles of TENCEL® fibers are more absorbent than cotton, softer than silk and cooler than linen. The unique close loops system makes Tencel production have minimum to no waste. The solvent used are recylced by almost 100%. Created of botanic origin and mostly utilizing eucalyptus tree wood chips, the plant itself are grown on land not suitable to grow food corps and required minimum water. This made Tencel to won “European Award for the Environment”
Cupro
Eco Mark certified, Cupro is an ecological choice to cotton, by using 100% of unused fibers from cotton plants. Cupro is made by utilizing the cotton linter, fibers that are covering the seeds.
Silk
The process in the manufacturing of silk itself are by nature are sustainable, especially when it is processed by weavers/ hand loom, it has almost near zero energy footprint. In our first collection we managed to utilize local silk from Ujung Pandang.
There are many kinds of narratives and organizing principles. Science is driven by evidence gathered in experiments, and by the falsification of extant theories and their replacement with newer, asymptotically truer, ones. Other systems religion, nationalism, paranoid ideation, or art are based on personal experiences (faith, inspiration, paranoia, etc.).
Experiential narratives can and do interact with evidential narratives and vice versa. For instance: belief in God inspires some scientists who regard science as a method to “peek at God’s cards” and to get closer to Him. Another example: the pursuit of scientific endeavors enhances one’s national pride and is motivated by it. Science is often corrupted in order to support nationalistic and racist claims.
The basic units of all narratives are known by their effects on the environment. God, in this sense, is no different from electrons, quarks, and black holes. All four constructs cannot be directly observed, but the fact of their existence is derived from their effects.
