WELCOME TO TANAH HUMBA, Looking back at some of the amazing time I had on Sumba island during my Sumba ikat exploration in 2019, where I met wonderful and amazing people and getting involved with Sumba textile processes, was truly priceless. I was photographed here with Tamu Rambu Margaretha, the wife of the last Ruler of Prailiu Kingdom, in Kamberra region of Waingapu, and she is happened to be the mother of one my lovely friends.
There are more amazing stories from my journey there that I would like to share with you. Rambu Margaretha and her family are truly kind and gentle people. Very open, liberal and very welcoming.
On this photo, I am wearing a beautiful HInggi ikat scarf woven and design by my good friend, Kornelis Ndapakamang and was given to me as a gift. Rambu Margaretha is wearing an exquisite Pahikung Sarong, possibly woven here by her weavers in the village.
Here at Indonesia Textile Tour, you can ask anything related to Indonesia, its culture and tradition, particularly about traditional textile culture. You don’t have to attend one of my tours to get information. Most of my trip to Indonesia is on a charity mission, contributing as an unpaid volunteer. helping to connect people who are interested in Indonesia, its culture and tradition, feel free to ask me any question, and I would be more than happy to share my knowledge and experience with you. There is a Whatsapp button on this Facebook page, you can use to contact me, should you wish to have a voice conversation. Pls, text me first. Thank you.
