Let's Walk the Talk
SukkhaCitta is an awards-winning social enterprise changing lives in rural Indonesia.
With every #MadeRight fabric, we return stories of impact and human connection
as an antidote to the era of overconsumption and mass production.
If you’re a designer, influencer, stockiest, or press media – we’re excited to find a way to collaborate!

Please note that in between running SukkhaCitta and our Rumah SukkhaCitta Foundation,
going on field-trips and researching new materials and dyes,
our time for speaking engagements and other collaborations might be limited.
But please do reach out to and tell us about your ideas.
We will do our best to get back to you within 2-3 working day.
