Rumah Olin

HOUSE of LAWE was born as a discussion group of Indonesian women who were concerned about their cultural heritage, especially traditional hand-woven lurik textiles. With the hand weaving tradition in the world nearly at the vanishing point, we agreed that transforming– harmoniously balanced striped or checkered patterns bearing symbolic meanings – into functional items people can use in their everyday lives would bring this tradition out of obscurity and back into public view.

Producing products like this involves many groups: designers, marketing and sales staffs, seamstresses, craftsmen and of course the hand weaving community. By encouraging these people, especially women, to continue producing lurik and by turning it into a profitable commodity, we are also empowering them to improve their own livelihoods and those of their children.

It is our dream that HOUSE of LAWE will grow as a profit center that can help improve livelihoods, empower women, and revive an age-old weaving culture.
