Menemani "Gau" - Mandalas X Yayasan Habibie & Ainun Couple Sarimbit Set Batik

Description
Menemani “Gau” in a dusty tone — a couple sarimbit set from the Mandalas collaboration with Yayasan Habibie & Ainun.
Coordinated rather than identical: the men's batik shirt and the women's kutubaru kebaya in the same colourway, so a couple matches without wearing the same garment. Gau is the softest and warmest of the three colourways, and the most contemporary.
For a collection named after a marriage of forty-eight years, the sarimbit set is the piece that carries the idea most directly.
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 garments you already own and compare against the size charts rather than ordering your usual letter sizes. Between sizes, size up.
