Made in Indonesia #5: The Famous "Kutubaru" Top by Lemari Lila

"Yes, this is the (most) famous and wanted product in the beginning years of Lemari Lila."

With garutan kutubaru top in my 6th months of second pregnancy

It's the basic model, if I may call it so, since now Lemari Lila has another model that called asymetric kutubaru top.


I have some kutubaru tops, in vary colors, in different length of sleeves.
Some of them I ordered special for my second pregnancy.
Some other, I ordered in my 'normal' size but with two side opens, for breastfeeding purpose, of course.


Lemari Lila is not the only kutubaru top-maker, but Lemari Lila's kutubaru has a special character: using manual dye cotton as the main fabric. And, as usual, Lila, who claims her self as 'not designer', 'doesn't have proper sketching skill', shows her smart and natural instinct to combine the main fabric with other appropriate fabrics to create these beautifuls top.


It's more casual, I say. You can match it with anything, anyway. Traditional batik clothes: beautiful. Hareem pants: look great. Jeans: fabulous!

So many varieties, rich of colors, but one sentence only to tell about them: I love them!
