DETAILS
- A new heritage. Tailored with a fitted silhouette that follows your natural curves. Style yours formally with a Sylk Kain or casually layered over a tank with the KAPAS Wide Leg Pants
- Naturally breathable. Made with our signature vegan Sylk that we perfected for its beautiful drape and airy feel.
- Individually crafted. Each flower is drawn with hot wax, not printed by machines. It takes two weeks to craft the fabric, which is then cut and sewn individually by our Ibus in Bali just for you.
- Plant dyed. Dyed in three different woods over four weeks to achieve the botanical red. As a herbal medicine, Sappan is a natural antiseptic and has a cooling effect on the skin.
Nadine wear Size I. She is 165 cm, EU Size S.
STORY
SERIBU BUNGA is a reminder for hope. The forgotten Jasmine flowers were once used by mothers to pass on the Batik tradition to their daughters. Today, they bloom once more in the homes of our Ibus. Each petal a bridge between the past, the present, and the future we're building together.

The fabric is very comfortable on my skin. The design is everlasting, and I feel elegantly looking instantly.
I love how this kebaya can be dressed down but also up depending on how I pair it! If I want to wear this kebaya for something more laidback, I'd pair it with a pair of shorts and it still works! But if I want to wear it for a more ceremonial or formal event, this kebaya still does wonders too! I especially love just how soft and airy the fabric feels on my skin, which feels like second skin. This piece is so precious, I'd wear it with extra care. Considering it's handmade by Ibus, I treat this piece the way I would treat an artwork – with extra care, fondness and appreciation.
Kapas Kebaya instantly becomes a favorite that I can dress up (as a kebaya) and down (as an outer). Its soft product is airy enough for tropical weather and sits perfectly on your body.
The piece I received was made by Ibu S. Aminah. Coincidentally, it is the same name as my great grandma!
This will become an heirloom in my family.
Dear Tressabel,
Thank you so much for your review! We're so happy to hear how meaningful this piece has become for you. And how lovely to hear that you have a very special connection with Ibu S. Aminah, albeit a coincidental one!
