Menemani “Gau” – Mandalas X Yayasan Habibie & Ainun Women’s Short Sleeve Kutubaru Kebaya Top
Menemani “Gau” in a dusty tone — a short sleeve kutubaru kebaya top from the Mandalas collaboration with Yayasan Habibie & Ainun.
Cut in the kutubaru form, recognisable by the bef panel across the midsection. The lighter of the two Menemani kebaya, and the easier to wear in heat. Pairs with the matching pleated skirt in the same colourway. Gau is the softest and warmest of the three colourways, and the most contemporary.
The Menemani pattern
Menemani is Indonesian for accompanying. The pattern tells a story of love, destiny, and the details that make a meeting last forever, through five elements:
- Sky Full of Stars — like the Truntum motif, a love that constantly blooms.
- Anggrek Serat — quiet strength and steady growth, reflecting Eyang Habibie's steadfast presence.
- Kantil — a cherished Javanese flower; Eyang Ainun's graceful presence never fades.
- Gardenia — a quiet love that blooms before it is spoken, like a little secret.
- Butterfly — one meeting, a lifetime together.
Fabric
65% lyocell, 35% cotton. The fluid, cool hand of lyocell, given quiet structure by cotton. Soft from the first wear, and composed through the longest day.
Care
- Dry clean preferred.
- Hand wash only if washing at home — not machine wash.
- Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
- Iron at low temperature.
Lyocell is less forgiving of heat and agitation than cotton, so the low iron setting and hand wash are not optional.
Sizing: cut closer to the body than Western sizing. Measure a garment you already own and compare against the size chart rather than ordering your usual letter size. Between sizes, size up.
