SERIBU BUNGA - Kebaya Coat
A Kebaya-inspired coat for all seasons. Made of our handwoven raw cotton, lined with an airy Eucalyptus fibre that provide warmth and comfort. A versatile piece you need in your wardrobe.
DETAILS
- A new heritage. One of our original designs, it took us two years to perfect the pattern. Perfected to be worn as a jacket or closed for a contemporary look.
- Breathable. Made of natural fibres and plant dyes, this coat is naturally thermo-regulating. Never travel without one.
- Individually crafted. Each flower is drawn with hot wax, not printed by machines. It takes two weeks to craft the fabric, which is then cut and sewn individually by our Ibus in Bali just for you.
- Plant dyed. Dyed in natural Indigo twenty times over four weeks to achieve the botanical grey. With the subtlest pink from banana stem and Sappan wood. As a herbal medicine, both are a natural antiseptic and has a cooling effect on the skin.
Model wears Size 1. She is 170cm, EU Size S.
STORY
SERIBU BUNGA is a reminder for hope. The forgotten Jasmine flowers were once used by mothers to pass on the Batik tradition to their daughters. Today, they bloom once more in the homes of our Ibus. Each petal a bridge between the past, the present, and the future we're building together.

Kapas Kebaya instantly becomes a favorite that I can dress up (as a kebaya) and down (as an outer). Its soft product is airy enough for tropical weather and sits perfectly on your body.
The piece I received was made by Ibu S. Aminah. Coincidentally, it is the same name as my great grandma!
This will become an heirloom in my family.
Dear Tressabel,
Thank you so much for your review! We're so happy to hear how meaningful this piece has become for you. And how lovely to hear that you have a very special connection with Ibu S. Aminah, albeit a coincidental one!
I loved the feel and texture of my Canang dew kebaya. I put it on for my cousins wedding today and never felt super wonderful since the fabric feels totally divine. Thank you for it!!!!
I love how this kebaya can be dressed down but also up depending on how I pair it! If I want to wear this kebaya for something more laidback, I'd pair it with a pair of shorts and it still works! But if I want to wear it for a more ceremonial or formal event, this kebaya still does wonders too! I especially love just how soft and airy the fabric feels on my skin, which feels like second skin. This piece is so precious, I'd wear it with extra care. Considering it's handmade by Ibus, I treat this piece the way I would treat an artwork – with extra care, fondness and appreciation.
I am a returning customer and I love the delicacy of the craftsmanship. This piece In particularly
