My name is Nelly, and I am a proud Batak, born and raised in Indonesia, but I’m now happy to call the UK my home in my golden years.

For years, I have been an advocate for traditional Indonesian textiles, driven by a mission to combat the environmental and cultural impacts of fast fashion.

For nearly 20 years now, I’ve dedicated myself to promoting the incredible artistry of our weavers and campaigning against the environmental impact of fast fashion. Through my work, I aim to showcase the amazing diversity and enduring value of handmade Indonesian textiles, from the intricate Batik of Java to the symbolic Ulos of my own Batak heritage. By promoting these timeless, handwoven pieces, I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for slow fashion and the rich cultural stories woven into every thread.

This online shop is the culmination of that passion. Here, you’ll discover a curated collection of handmade Indonesian textiles, each one a testament to the skill and cultural heritage passed down through generations.

Thank you for joining me on this journey to celebrate tradition and support a more sustainable, meaningful way of life.

Best wishes,

Nelly Andon
