Handicraft Training

Multiyasa Abadi Sentosa is part of the Dan Liris group and focuses on producing handicrafts using sustainable materials. The company organises various initiatives to train people from various walks of life in how to produce quality handicrafts to bolster their future career prospects. A recent example in this area include working with former convicts to teach them various basket weaving techniques including how to create the product structure using recycled cotton bale wire and then weave using fabrics including natural fibres such as water hyacinth and recycled cotton. The result is a high quality product that can be distributed to MAS’s various international homeware brand clients.

Empowering Local Craftsmen

Dan Liris strives to preserve and promote traditional Indonesia textiles on the global stage. To this end, the company works closely with groups of local craftsmen to support them in developing more sustainable practices as well as utilising their crafted fabrics in fashion apparel collections.

One such example is a group of Lurik craftsmen in Tlingsing Village on Central Java who produce the heritage striped Lurik fabric using traditional hand operated looms. The artisans are often elderly men and women who are striving to continue a cherishes crafting technique and to support themselves during retirement.

Dan Liris provided waste cotton for the production of Lurik fabric for a seasonal collection by the modern batik clothing brand bateeq. This project serves to protect Indonesia’s rich cultural legacy within traditional fabrics through raising awareness and appreciation while providing income opportunities for artisans.
