Dani Paraswati

Dani Paraswati

"I work with the help of 15 employees, all of whom are women. I want to advance the social and economic status of women."

“My name is Dani Paraswati. I was born in Yogyakarta in 1977. Yogyakarta is a city with a million stories, starting from... simplicity, hospitality, art, culture and culinary arts that cannot be forgotten. Yogyakarta is also known as the City of Students, as many students from outside the city study in this city. Many artists also live in Yogya. I am the child of hardworking parents. My father is the owner of a material and building shop in Semarang City. My mother has been a seamstress since 1973. It was that talent that was passed down to me. Since I was a child, I often watched her work, and then I tried to make doll clothes. This interest of mine made me decide to become a designer. As the youngest of 4 siblings, I witnessed the success of my parents in raising their four children to become scholars. My perseverance in studying fashion paid off when I graduated as the best student in high school, and had the opportunity to enroll at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta without a test.

“My career started in 2008 by opening a boutique with 3 branches in the city of Yogyakarta. In 2012 I opened a business with the Dannique brand. At the same time, I participated in the selection of New Entrepreneurs held by Bank Indonesia, and received the privilege of coaching for 1 year by Indonesia's top coach. I have also participated in several annual craftsman events in Indonesia, fashion shows, and entrepreneurial activities; and was selected as the Woman Entrepreneur Australia Award 2016 by the Australian Government and received a short course at Queensland University of Technology. It was my ideals that brought me this far. The talent I have is the most beautiful gift from God, through my mother.

“I have 2 children who I love very much; they are the inspiration of my life. Everything I do is to prepare a good future for them. Even in the toughest times in my life, I still had to endure for them. I felt it when my husband was sick and when he ultimately died, leaving me and the kids alone. As a mother I have to be able to divide my attention between my children, work and managing family finances. In the worst and toughest times, mentally I felt stronger, because I only had the choice to keep fighting for my company and my children. I feel lucky that, as a woman, I can be both mother and father to my children. As a businesswoman I can also provide jobs for my employees.

“Of all the products that I produce, I feel that the most challenging product is indigo batik with a bohemian theme, because the collection is one of the most popular so far. I work with the help of 15 employees, all of whom are women. I want to advance the social and economic status of women. The materials used are natural fibers and 100% cotton and are environmentally friendly.

“I joined Novica on the advice of a professional friend. My goal in working with Novica is to expand marketing and expand product distribution channels overseas. My target is that my employees can still earn income during this difficult pandemic. I want to preserve traditional materials and motifs so that they are increasingly famous in the international market.”

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.

WIN # 3 Artisans Profit!
