Our province had more than 50.000 crafters/weavers and we used to be weaving-center industry in Indonesia. After the era of the globalization and the mainstream culture has created the cultural changes, the weaver’s slowly becomes vanished and replaced by the modern weaving-machinery. It motivates us as a business to protect our traditions and legacy to keep growing and spreading so it would not dissappear from our culture during this era of globalization.
