Have you heard of an Indonesian brand “Alun Alun“? Our good friends brought get-well presents from ALUN ALUN to my second daughter before her visit to Singapore to see a specialist for the ganglion under her jaw. She received an adorable dress as well as a cute stuff toy. I haven’t had a chance to take photos of the stuff toy, but I will take photos of it sometime in the future.
Alun Alun means town square. You can read about the concept of Alun Alun here. It is very interesting and I highly recommend reading it.
I love the colorful and whimsical patch work fabric dress on my daughter. I love the design itself as well as the idea of the store to support the development and marketing of the Indonesian culture-based products. The mission of Alun Alun is to create “Panggung Indonesia”, which means Stage of Indonesia. “It is not only a place to showcase the products, but also the place for education and fun learning about Indonesia’s cultural heritage.”
I cannot wait to go visit the actual store in the future.
インドネシアブランドのAlun Alunってご存知ですか?次女がシンガポールへ専門家の医者に見てもらう前に、こちらの友人がお見舞いとしてAlun Alunからの可愛いドレスとぬいぐるみを次女にプレゼントしてくれました。ありがとう〜!ぬいぐるみの写真を撮る余裕が無かったのですが、時間を見つけて写真を撮ってみます。
アルンアルンとは、街の広場という意味です。アルンアルンの概念は、こちらをクリックすると見れます。
カラフルで楽しいパッチワークのドレスがとっても可愛いと思います。デザインももちろん可愛いですが、お店の概念であるインドネシアの文化をベースとした商品をサポートするところもとても魅力ですね。
お店に足を踏み入れてみるのが楽しみです!
