    Story Behind the Art:

    'I grew up in a small, warm family environment. My mother has long specialized in batik and I often helped her. However, demand for batik work decreased and I worked with a friend making saa paper goods, for about two years. During this time, my brother resigned from his job to design cotton clothes. We grew up in an area renowned for traditional handicrafts, so we had the opportunity to learn many techniques and art forms.

    'Our cotton designs focus on using natural materials for a modern lifestyle. We use the method of coiling thread to decorate a lot of the work. It also brings plenty of work to everyone involved, including people from different villages who help us transform cotton into different styles of clothing and decorative items. I'm proud of the fact that each item represents a collection of highly-skilled group of people.'

Not happy

gahana from San Francisco, CA, Sep 12, 2009

This skirt is very plain. The cotton seems poor quality and it released color after one wash. I was a bit disappointed. Granted that this is not meant to be of dressy kind, but when you wear it, it looks really poor. You are better off wrapping a sarong.

Great Skirt for Summer

pineappaloozas from Marriottsville, MD, Jul 16, 2009

This is a wonderful skirt for summer! It works so well with a t-shirt but then I can change the t-shirt over for a nice shirt for a night out! Extremely comfortable and flattering.
