NY Now - Summer 2016




Fancy to see colorful and artistic works from different corners of the world?
I do!
And I got the chance to see NY Now 2016 this summer.
This annual exhibition took place at Javits Center from August, 2016.

And how I love to see all those great collections of artisanal works and fantastic with an endless touch of creativity. I got the access to the event thanks to our Consulate General in New York City, who, together with Bekraf or Indonesian Agency for Creative Economy, arranged the participation of Indonesia in NY Now 2016.

As you know, Indonesia opens a special corner in NY Now. 

Welcome to Indonesian booth

Packed with beautiful, ornate works of various artisans as well as small and medium enterprises from Indonesia, Indonesian pavilion is indeed colorful and vibrant.



I love the colors and the patterns here..


This year, we have a wide range of products being displayed during this 4-day exhibition.


welcome to Indonesian Pavilion at NY Now 2016

From vintage ceramics to raw pearls from deep blue sea. From colorful ethnic bags and wallets to edgy accessories. From geometric pillowcase to traditional hand-written Batik. We got it all :).

I managed to visit our booth in there during the exhibition.
On the last day of NY Now, visitors are allowed to buy some of the samples of displayed products if the sellers agree to sell them. I was browsing around and truly fascinated by the colorful arts and crafts shown.

For 2016, we have a list of great artists displaying their works. 

We have Galeri Pot from JC's Pottery, showing series of artistic pots made with love from hand-throwing clay. Another great work in ceramics and pottery arts is presented by Sayap studio.

Next we have Karsa, with its furnitures and home accessories made of hand-picked materials and designed by talented Indonesian young designers. Interesting work of art is presented by SylvieRomy. with MathArt+Design as their tagline, their works are beautifully adorned with patterns and colors.




Then Tala, the archipelago living art, with Mary & Teddy Collections of Jakarta Vintage label in the forms of colorful and high quality dinnerware series. By the time I saw them, I instantly fell in love and decided to have them. And I grabbed 'em all :).

Tala's beautiful designs. I just love them...

For the bags department, we have many options as well. One of them is Lungsin, which produced exquisite, exclusive casula as well as formal accessories using the traditional handwoven textile from Indonesia. Various colorful tenun and wastra nusantara were beautifully transformed into versatile bags, wallets, laptop cases, coin purses, pouch, and many more. I grabbed this beautiful bucket bag in purple color. A great addition to my Indonesian tenun collection.

don't you just love all these colorful stuff :)

bags in different colors and form...

One of my favorite items are the jewelries.  This year, we were privileged to have Sarah Beekmans's as well as Lady Quaint's beautiful collections.





We also have more silver jewelries from Bali and Jogja. A lot to choose from.

care to have some Indonesian accessories?
And finally, the wardrobe department. We have so many colorful batik dresses, coats, jackets, as well as shawl and pashmina for you to enjoy. I love the design from one of my dear friend, Yogiswari Pradjanti.
Her brilliant ideas and designs of cute, girlie, patterns applied in dresses, tops, and jackets are super cute. I instantly ordered one cute, cat dress, in purple :).

Aren't they cute? :)

We have more from Galeri Batik Jawa with its beautiful and natural indigo batik and Datie Handicraft.



Moreover, we have more great products from Nook, Santai, versaguna, wisanka    and more.

It's great to see that we have positive comments as well as orders from buyers and exhibitors coming to NY Now this year.


seriously discussing about the products displayed and orders received

Well, we sincerely hope that Indonesian beautiful and  creative economy products, with its distinct uniqueness, designs and quality, can meet the needs and demands from global markets, including in New York and the States as a whole.

NY Now and Indonesian Pavillion

Have you heard of NY Now?
Some of you have I supposed.




NY Now is a very special exhibition indeed. 
Gathering leading associations in various industries and market partners, this show attracts many incredible suppliers as well as wholesale buyers from all over the world. Showcasing handmade, home, lifestyle and artisan creations, NY Now is definitely a valuable and rewarding event for those looking for versatile, global market for home, lifestyle, gifts and more. Truly a creative hub with breathtaking, authentic designs and great products offered.

NY Now merupakan salah satu ajang bergengsi yang menampilkan aneka produk karya berbagai pengrajin maupun seniman dari berbagai penjuru dunia. Tidak kurang dari 400 produsen dari sekitar 60 negara berkumpul dalam pameran ini. Berlangsung dari tanggal 30 Januari - 3 Februari 2016 di Javits Center, NYC, NY Now memang sayang dilewatkan. 

Namun berbeda dengan pameran biasa, NY Now dikhususkan untuk wholeshale dan sangat mengedepankan profesionalisme. As stated in its guidelines,"This Market is for the Trade only, individuals must document their direct, professional Trade affiliation to be admited." Memang tidak semua supplier bisa serta merta ikuta dalam pameran ini dan untuk mempertahankan integritas ajang ini, penjualan di tempat dilarang dan semua pesanan harus dikirim melalui order pengiriman. On-site sale and delivery of merchandise is strictly prohibited and all orders must be shipped. Para pembeli pun diminta mendaftar terlebih dahulu, sehingga kredibilitas mereka pun dapat dicek dan terjaga. Tidak heran kalau NY Now dipenuhi banyak peminat, baik suplier maupun pembeli. Banyak exhibitors yang telah mengikuti acara ini berulang kali, bahkan berturut-turut dalam beberapa tahun. Some say dibutuhkan paling tidak 4 tahun untuk bisa benar-benar established hubungan dagang yang solid melalui salah satu ajang perdagangan terbesar di AS ini, karena tahun pertama dan kedua adalah masa 'perkenalan' dengan pasar AS maupun dunia, dan tahun ke-3 dan ke-4 merupakan masa 'pembuktian' bahwa para suplier dapat memenuhi permintaan buyer yang datang dalam event ini.

Indonesia pun tidak mau ketinggalan untuk berpartisipasi dalam ajang ini.
Ada 3 suplier asal Indonesia yang mengikuti acara ini, yaitu Lumiga Bali, Kamawardhana dan C-Tie Dye by Angel.

Indonesian Pavilion at NY Now

tasnya lucu yaaa :)
Produk yand ditampilkan cukup beragam, namun memang masih didominasi oleh produk tekstil dan keragaman desain pakaian siap pakai. Lumiga Bali, misalnya, menampilkan berbagai desain pakaian maupun tas tangan yang menggunakan aksen kain batik. sementara Kamawardhana asa Bandung, menampilkan koleksi musim semi tahun 2016 yang mengangkat tema Crysler's Day. Sementara itu, C-tie dye menampilkan aneka kreasi pakaian dengan kain jumputan yang khas dan penuh warna. Animo pengunjung terhadap barang-barang Indonesia pun cukup tinggi, apalagi para supplier yang ikut pun sanggup memenuhi order hingga ribuan pieces. I sincerely hope they will have a successful event indeed.

Meskipun bukan exhibitor, saya tidak mau ketinggalan untuk melihat sendiri keseruan NY Now. Walaupun hanya sempat menikmati pameran ini sebentar saja di sela-sela makan siang, namun lumayan banyak barang-barang lucu yang saya lihat. Sayangnya kita tidak boleh melakukan pembelian satuan di tempat dan semua pembelian pun harus dikirim. Dan terus terang banyak sekali pernik-pernik dan hiasan untuk aksen rumah yang saya suka, termasuk karpet, lukisan, hiasan dinding dan masih banyak lagi. Pokoknya mupeng berat deh. 

I just love this colorful cherry trees :)


some of the lovely home product for you to enjoy :)
Belum lagi di bagian artisanal resources yang dipenuhi kerajinan tangan hand-made beraneka rupa, termasuk produk stationeries, kecantikan organik dan kosmetik. 
Ya tuhan..kemasannya pun lucu-lucu banget. Yang ada saya mencatat banyak alamat website para suplier itu, sambil berjanji pada diri sendiri untuk mengeceknya dari rumah nanti :).   

Other booths also offered various products and creative designs. Starting from dining ware to body lotions, from sofa to pinata. Everything looks cute to me :).
I really enjoy those cute and colorful packaging as well. 

I just can't get enough of it :)
So, what do you think about NY Now? 
There will be another round this summer, I guess it will be in August.
I hope we will have more Indonesian suppliers coming this time.
I just can't  wait to see that again :).
