Sarinah offers an extensive collection of textile products, sourced from a network of skilled weavers that spans the full breadth of Indonesia’s many provinces. As the foremost in Indonesia, the company’s retail outlets serve as a showcase for fabrics from different local cultures; each representing traditions and techniques unique to a given village or town. Sarinah thus stands apart from other retailers in providing customers with unparalleled choice and direct access to fabrics and materials that would otherwise only be available in disparate locations across the island nation.
Among the most sought after textile products made available by Sarinah are handwoven Songket fabrics, made from silk or cotton and intricately decorated with gold or silver thread. As testament to the company’s commitment to product variety, Sarinah offers different takes on this fabric from provinces including South Sumatra (Songket Limar), Bali (Wastra Songket) and West Nusa Tenggara (Songket).
Sarinah also provides its customers with a selection of the finest Tenun fabrics, made popular through the use of eye-catching, colourful patterns and currently enjoying a renaissance through the image-driven social media app, Pinterest. To meet demand for more modern designs for this fabric as well as for Indonesia’s most famous patterned textile product, Batik, Sarinah seeks to provide innovative, young designers with the platform to reach consumers on a national, regional and international scale. This spotlight on the best textile products Indonesia has to offer spans not only fabrics to be used in garments, but also those designed as home décor and furnishings.
