Wastra Indonesia: one day at the UN General Assembly

One colorful day at the United Nations General Assembly :)

We just had an election for the members of the United Nations Human Rights Council last Tuesday.
Indonesia is one of the candidates from Asia Pacific group and we got re-elected with 152 votes! Together with India, Bangladesh and Qatar, we will assume our responsibilities as the Member States from 2015 - 2017.

Perfect day to be colorful as always, with Indonesian amazing wastra ...


Excuse me, Mr. President, let me take a few pictures first, please :)


I am proudly wearing my Kain Blongsong Palembang scarves from South Sumatera,
purple dress by Dian Pelangi,
and hand-woven tenun Nun Kolo fron NTT, East Nusa Tenggara by Batik Chic

Wastra Indonesia: Purple splash...

I feel much, much better after the mastectomy,  so now I just realized that I still got boxes filled with my much-loved collection of Wastra Indonesia, hand-woven traditional fabrics from home.

So, we set the gawangan,  the special traditional handmade wooden display especially design for kain or fabrics.

Million thanks to my hubby, here I am..freshly standing next to my first 'batch' - as I still got more :) - of wastra Indonesia...

Pale pink with green lining tenun from East Nusa Tenggara...
Pink - white-orange-cobalt blue Rangrang Tenun from Bali...
Fuschia-pink-burst of colors with deer pattern of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara...
Purple and gold songket Palembang, South Sumatera in bungo intan and limar motives...
And many more :)

As for me, leisurely wearing my purple top from Antilia Femme and Contemporary Garutan Batik pants from West Java, with my fave gold fish necklace from Kate Spade. And not to forget, my latest accessories,  wound drainage reservoir,  courtesy of my mastectomy :).

Life is good...
So let's embrace it with hope, love and joy...

Bon weekend a tous...

#WastraIndonesia: the amazing Tenun Buna

I guess, by now, most of my friends know already about my passion to Indonesian traditional hand-woven fabrics...

It's a never ending love for sure :)

And I was so lucky I come across this incredible Tenun Buna, woven with love in East Nusa Tenggara, from my dear friend Mba Novita Yunus, the owner of Batik Chic ...

Tenun Buna has long been famous for its intricate patterns beautifully woven using colorful threads. 


As you can see here, the patterns are pretty much composed of geometric forms which, at some points, remind me of clouds, colorful ones :)

At first, I feel like I wanna keep that Tenun as it is, but then, I just can't help it...
So, I turn it intooooo...

A long coat

Love it to the max :D...
