My Tayada


For those who know me, I owned a little Batik workshop, I do want to call it a little workshop, since it is small, but yet beautiful, I mean, really small and beautiful.
The shop owned by my other two partners who I love, admire, and adore dearly.
Yenny, my classmate in high school, we sat next to each other through high school, we shared bajaj together every day for the past 2 years, she is my truly friend, for better, for worse, and yes, till do us apart.
Deddy, our creative guy, he is not only able to draw, but he also is able to draw our mind! I totally adore his work and yes his design.
As the three of us with the same vision, not just making money, or should I say, beside making money, we want to preserve our heritage, the one thing that has been knowledge by United Nation, Batik is Indonesian heritage.
Let me tell you about the story of Tayadans....we are fun, hip and loving people. We had meeting out in the Bakoel coffee to Hong Kong cafe, we brought all of our fabrics to these coffee shop, hauling with bags and suit cases. Did we ever get tired? Nooooooooooooooooo......we loved our meeting, and we looked forward every week to meet one another. We laughed, joked and cried tayada's style!
So, one day, we decided to look for a little workshop, a place where we can call home for Tayada. Yenny and Deddy searched for it. They searched until one day, Yenny found a little place in Jl. Cibitung1/19, we saw it, we loved it, and then from August 1, 2009, we called that place "Home for Tayada" We are very proud of our accomplishment. It was just a perfect present for our 1st year anniversary.
On Friday, October 2, 2009, my little batik workshop held the very first time its own fashion show. I felt nothing...(as usual) I mean, usually I was very emotional about things that I called my own, but this time, I was calm, and steady. My very talented designer and partner, was very excited, he even more talented that I was ever remember. He made things even more beautiful than it used to, or even more colorful that I once remembered.
The models were tall, and modern look. So, professional, even though they were young.
The fashion show started around midnight, and yes, so many people supported us by attending to our 1st fashion show, and they all wore Tayada.
Tayada is not tayada without Tasia, Yenny and Deddy. No matter what, we create this, we are so proud of it, and wish the very best of luck to to the three of us.
