Ruteng is the capital of Manggarai District, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. One petit island filled with natural wonders and fascinating cultures, including their traditional handwoven fabrics.
I was privileged to get this new piece of beautiful cloth and some snaps of the wonderful and skillful lady who was the master of this artful masterpiece. It took around 3 months to finish one full cloth. Truly a labour of love...lots of love.

I can't wait to receive my newest Tenun Ruteng here in NYC.
