It is my pleasure to present DYRT Design, which stands for Do You Recycle Too? DYRT Design is a unique shop in Indonesia where you can buy products that you don’t see in other parts of the world. DYRT Design products are all made with recycled materials such as toothpaste cases which you see on the products made with white and silver woven materials and billboard vinyl which you see in colorful products.
I learned about DYRT Design when I went to the American Women’s Association bazaar in autumn 2010, soon after I moved to Indonesia. I’ve been wanting to come visit DYRT Design store in Kemang ever since the store opened above Le Souq in the same center as KOI Kemang.
The concept of DYRT originates from trying to reduce waste. It is not just recycling the materials such as billboard vinyl. The founder of DYRT Design, Karen Isdaryono, recreate waste into products with a style and trendy look. You can view the collections on DYRT Design’s homepage. (Is it hacked? I can’t access it. What’s going on there?)
I think the products from this store make good souvenirs. You can buy one-of-a-kind products to take to your family and friends back home.
DYRTデザインをご紹介できることを光栄に思います。DYRTデザインとは、「あなたもリサイクルしてますか?」(Do you recycle Too?)という英語の文章の単語の頭文字を繋げてあります。DYRTデザインの商品は全てリサイクルの材料で作られています。例えば白とシルバーの歯磨き粉のケースをリサイクルして使ったものや、もう一つはカラフルな宣伝に使用されたビニールのバナーを使用しています。
2010年の秋にアメリカ婦人協会のバザーに行った際、DYRTの事を知りました。クマンのKOI KemangやインテリアショップであるLe Souq(ル・スーク)があるセンターにDYRTデザインが開店して以来ずっと行ってみたかった場所で、最近やっと行ってきました。
DYRTのコンセプトは、ゴミの削減です。ただリサイクルするだけでなく、オーナーであるカレンさんは、センス良く、トレンディーなデザインで製造しています。コレクションを見たい方は、こちらのページをご覧下さい。
DYRTデザインの商品は、お土産にも良いのでは、と思います。故郷の家族友人にも重宝してもらえる珍しいものがありますね。

Hi Kaho,
Good to see this store on your blog. I love this store soo much and how resourceful to have products from bill board adverts. I like the bright colours and tooth paste tube bags and product range are my favourites. Indonesia is wonderful and very creative people.
Kaho says
I agree. It is really a neat store!

Hi Kaho,
I just wish to thank you for writing so much about Jakarta. I’m heading there in a week and your blog has been really helpful! May I know if you know of any shops that sell tasteful party decor at reasonable prices? Eg. Paper lanterns, buntings, table cloths, doily…
And also any good beauty salons other than the ones you’ve already written about on your blog?
Thank you so much 🙂

The party supply store is one area that I don’t know much about. Family Guide to Jakarta might have some good suggestions. http://www.familyguidetojakarta.web.id/
Also, my to go person for a party planning is Ana of Stumble Abroad blog. She’s got a great talent for party planning and lives in Jakarta.
For hair salon, I suggested Nobu, Anna Wijaya, Shunji Matsuo and A Mi Casa. Other than this, you might want to visit The Diplomatic Wife blog. thediplomaticwife.com She might have some other suggestions. Good luck and have a great time in Jakarta!!
