How I love wearing the traditional fabrics from my beloved country, Indonesia.
And I have to say I am blessed and extremely lucky to have my dearest friend, Agus Lahinta, sending this beautiful piece of Karawo dress proudly made by Rumah Saronde, Gorontalo.
Karawo is the traditional embroidery from Gorontalo, Sulawesi.
Meticulously handcrafted, it takes months to create one, particularly with its special patterns. Most of them are in the forms of flowers and geometric patterns of colors.
Let's take a closer look ..

I haven't seen the process of making it myself, but citing it from the website of the Provicial Government of Gorontalo, the making of this piece of art requires slicing and pulling the threads from the yards before embroidering it back with desired patterns. Not that easly for sure but it turns out beautifully.
And I am proudly wearing it to the UN :)

ReplyDeleteKarawooo! What a beautiful presentation, dear Indah. I concur with the previous comment, the Karawo kebaya is truly unique and the model is thoroughly exceptional! Have I told you that I grew up seeing my grandma, mom and aunties wearing karawang to attend functions? The Minahasa/Manado karawang is slightly different than the Gorontalo karawang due to the distinction of the patterns and cloths. The patterns of Minahasa Karawang are generally more traditional as they depict the type of flowers in the area, whereas the patterns of Gorontalo Karawang is more modernised and reflect the pride icons of the area as well as taking also Batik patterns, e.g. corns, parang etc. While Minahasa karawang in general is woven on cotton, the karawo may take different form, e.g. taffeta and silk. Well, both traditional textiles are sooo unique and they are obviously collectors items for all Wastra lovers! #IndonesianTraditionalTextile #RagamWastraNusantara
