Localism Knowledge of Weavers and Farmers in Lombok, Indonesia

I am Winny Nagawaty , a fashion designer and also a team member of Fashion Revolution in Indonesia, who travels frequently around cities and villages to meet makers and society of Indonesia traditional crafts and clothings.  One of the main factors why I like jumping into society is when I meet people with high enthusiasm to continue learning. But unfortunately, many of the craftsmen do not have a proper place to develop their woven products.

My goal when sharing is to inspire the community so that their economy and knowledge develop more, but it turns out that more of them are giving me valuable lessons.

Like when I first jumped into the city of Lombok, NTB. I was amazed and also surprised when many mothers planting in the fields. The mothers there, divided their time to earn a living from both professions, weavers and farmers. They are also responsible for the sustainability of the food ecosystem in Indonesia.

It inspire me to keep up the spirit and have more dreams, share and develop the society.
