I was born in Surabaya as one of four . The first time I made my own yoga bag, it was because I couldn’t find a nice, original, affordable yoga bag in stores. Because my tastes are different, I designed my own. When my friends saw it, they were surprised and asked where I bought it because they also had trouble buying a cover for their yoga mat. To my surprise, a few of them ordered and I was extremely happy they liked my work. I think about having my own workshop someday to help women who don’t have the opportunity to work because they lack education and are busy taking care of . With a workshop, I can teach them and they can work from home, so that women and disabled workers can work on their own. In the near future, I’d like to make yoga bags for and men as well as other items. Batik is more than a fabric — it is a history and a journey. Hopefully Novica will spread the good work and create more awareness for this traditional craft.
