Lajur Kereta Fringe Coaster

Made by pedal loom weavers in Sleman, Special Region of Yogyakarta
From £8.00
Product Story

Lurik is a traditional Javanese textile that once held a significant role in society. The letter ‘i’ in lurik means small or dainty in Javanese, informing how the stripes in lurik fabric are traditionally less than one centimetre wide.

Unfortunately, the myriad of stories behind the designs of lurik has been eroded by modernity as time goes by. This series is meant to reintroduce this priceless tradition into our modern-day living. Lajur Kereta is woven out of thinly striped patterns of lajuran.

The weaving along the linen’s hems is securely sewn with a zig-zag stitch and carefully frayed to add a fresh spin of today’s traditional taste. A crisp choice to mix into your versatile tablescape. The base fabric is handwoven by pedal loom weavers in Ibu Lusi’s house, Sleman.

MADE IN IBU LUSI'S HOUSE, SLEMAN

When we encountered Ibu Lusi’s house in Sleman, just on the outskirts of Yogyakarta, the start of our long relationship bloomed. In silence, we could hear the faint rhythm of weaving machines moving in harmonious order from every corner. Her family was the first weavers we met during our initial pursuit of finding artisan partners across Java.

Run by mostly the older generation of weavers, the house appears to be falling apart. But somehow everyone is working wholeheartedly to sustain the weaving tradition. Though not as rigorous in production capacity, the house produces the finest, most intricate fabric that we always adore since the very first time.
