New Arrivals This Week

Spring arrivals have finally arrived at Canaan Bali in time for Future Design Week. We recently experimented with Shibori tie-dye technique using bamboo cotton tees that were made in Jakarta. We sent the tees over to Tarum for colouring with natural dyes from plants and they turn out very eclectic! The Shibori tie-dye tees are available at both our stores in Bali and Jakarta.

We also collaborated with a design company based out of Surabaya called Cassia Studio and ordered a series of metal-based trays and containers in exclusive colours for Canaan. We picked out a deep red, dark navy and bright orange as our Spring palette. The collection also comes with a compact mirror that can be easily stored flat and re-adjust to stand on the tray when being used. They are perfect for keeping your stationary sleek, as a modern centrepiece or as multi-purpose trays for keys and daily essentials.

Some of other new arrivals this week are mini rattan totes from Warang Wayan designed by Yuri Tsuchiya, a Japanese designer living in Ubud. They come with soft leather handles in subtle colours making these rattan totes tres chic.

As part of Interwoven month at Unearth celebrating its first year anniversary we also introduced Haryo Soenggono’s handmade pottery at Canaan Bali together with Pot Cartel another ceramic studio that specialises in hand-pinching technique. We also debut Fbudi prequel collection at Canaan Bali last weekend as we are in the midst of preparing our second collection to be released by July.

Welcoming Kain Indonesia to Unearth Space

KaIND or Kain Indonesia is a local Indonesian brand that specialises in naturally dyed technique combined with batik mastery based from Pasuruan, East of Java. We met the founder Melie Indarto recently to share our ideas of collaboration as well as listening to her beginnings. Melie a native Pasuruan grew up with the love of textiles and in 2014 stumbled upon a dyeing batik workshop that sparked her enthusiasm to give it a new lease of life. Fast forward to 2019, Melie has not only revitalised that particular batik village in Pasuruan but she has now a team of professionals who can take care of her administrative work and orders.

We were lucky enough to catch Melie in Jakarta and it was great that we could pick and choose her collection that we know our customers would very much love. Melie and her team fused the traditional Pasuruan symbols such as the Bromo Mountain, Chrysanthemum flowers, Tuberose onto their handwoven scarves. Their latest eco-silk scarves used 100% silk and dyed using leaves that are brushed through the fabrics to create their natural printed motifs.
