Dayu Indramurti

"My dream is to bring prosperity and welfare to ashram members. Seeing their smiling eyes and faces, giving them the means for a good education, preserving their art… is the Indonesian way."

"I'm Ida Ayu Mas Indramurti. I was born in 1962 in Gianyar. I started crafting bags from natural materials in 2012 when... I managed an ashram where some of the members are from Tenganan village. They have basket-weaving skills so we started making bags and placemats as gifts to the volunteers that stayed with us at the ashram.

"Our main natural material is ate grass, a strong, resistant natural fiber that flourishes on Indonesia's islands. We use traditional techniques derived from the ancestors and no special tools are needed.

"To organize the project, I began by making sketches of bag designs, and then made a pattern. We usually take two days for weaving and three more days for the drying process. We then put a button on the bag and place it in a traditional oven for 48 hours before adding the ropes and straps. Some of us specialize in weaving and some oversee the drying processes.

"A positive impact on local community is that our project can help preserve the ancient crafts of Tenganan. Village members feel proud that their weavings are appreciated overseas and they provide a source of income.

"Village members try hard to preserve the art of ate bag weaving by using ancient village designs. Preserved and modified, they bring traditional details to the bags of today.

"My dream is to bring prosperity and welfare to ashram members. Seeing their smiling eyes and faces, giving them the means for a good education, preserving their ancient art tradition and their social solidarity exemplify the spirit of gotong-royong. It is the Indonesian way.

"I have two children and three grandchildren who will maintain and improve this project. Hardships and a hard life are natural for me since my father passed away when I was only three. I grew up living with my mother — who never learned to read and write — and my little brother; the other brother also passed away. My life consisted of selling food to neighbors, cooking anything and going to school. I also helped out in two shops and taught courses to children and kindergartners just to keep living. Yet I've always tried to do good things and help poor people.

"In addition to designing, I also give advice and make modifications to a number of existing crafts. I am always involved in social work, sharing things with people in the village and giving my skills and advice to people in need."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

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.

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
