Made by pedal loom weavers in Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta
From £45.00
Product Story

Pundi Beras is a reimagination of traditional Indonesian lurik, a type of striped fabric that used to be a significant part of our daily lives as Indonesians. The thick black lines framing the white fabric of Pundi Beras are a classic adaptation of lurik that aligns with today’s contemporary taste. Like its name, Pundi Beras draws inspiration from the bold yet simple graphics that adorn the packaging of local rice sacks or karung beras.

The stripes are complemented by a playful fringe, accentuating both the traditional and modern qualities of this table linen series. With its neutral coastal tone and frisky fringed edge, Pundi Beras table runner adds a simple yet whimsical dimension for you to enjoy around the table. The base fabric is handwoven by pedal loom weavers in Pak Jussi’s house, Bantul.

MADE IN PAK JUSSI'S HOUSE, BANTUL

The streets are silent, and everyone’s quiet in Bantul — a coastal regency in the south of Yogyakarta. Here was where we met Pak Jussi and his neighbourhood of weavers. Mostly belonging to the older generation, they weave to keep up their old tradition.

It is not an unusual sight to see them grow their crops and spend hours tending the farm, as weaving becomes a work that they do while waiting for the crops. For these people, weaving fills in the rhythm of their life. Most of them acquired weaving skills from a tender age, yet the community faces a pressing challenge of generational continuity, grappling with a decline in demand for handwoven textiles.
