Soe Jakarta

SOE Jakarta is born out of a love affair with hand woven textile and an ode to classic timeless style. Monique Soeriaatmadja’s vexation of not being able to find the perfect fabric when creating her designs led her to search for Indonesian textile artisans with the same thirst for innovation and the same curiosity and hunger for unique creations. Most of the pieces in her debut collection are cut using fabrics developed after hours of discussion with weavers from different parts of the country who create beautiful fabrics on traditional looms, including the labour intensive back-strap loom. Her creations are inspired by those patterns and textures and her fascination with sportswear and contemporary arts.

With SOE Jakarta, she aims to create clothes with a story, everyday wear that is easy to wear and easily fits into today’s modern woman’s well curated wardrobe. By juxtaposing these beautiful labor intensive fabrics with modern and technical fabric, she reimagines classic silhouettes and gives it her own quirky touch. A perfect fit for women who want to wear a piece of tradition without losing her modern flair
