Description
| The Manggarai tribe has lived on the Indonesian island of Flores for a long time. The colorful motifs woven by a special technique on black and indigo-based hand-woven fabrics express their unique view of the universe and awe of nature. Their fabrics have a mysterious charm that attracts Japanese and Westerners alike. Freshly woven Manggarai fabrics are not suitable for making clothes because of their high tensile strength, strong color contrasts, and high price. However, since it is an old cloth, Manggarai old cloth has many holes and missing threads. Because cutting and sewing must be done avoiding these damaged parts, seamstresses who can tailor Manggarai fabrics are very rare even in Indonesia. Raksa's original Manggarai series was born after a careful discussion between the store manager and the seamstress who knows Manggarai very well. Before sewing, of course, the fabric is washed and carefully cut according to the pattern, and after sewing, the threads of the frayed motifs are carefully cut one by one. This is a truly tedious and time-consuming process. [Caution]. Mangalai fabrics are old fabrics and may have some damage even after this process. We recommend purchasing this product if you can accept it as a characteristic of old fabric. The fabric is dyed with Flores Island's unique herb-dyeing process. Some of the fabrics may still have a unique scent. |

This item is made of old Indonesian cloth. Please note that there are some parts where the fabric has been applied, the color has faded, or the embroidery threads have fallen out, but this is a product for those who understand the characteristics of old cloth.
[About the Manggarai people] The colorful motifs woven by a special technique on the black and indigo-based hand-woven fabrics express their unique view of the universe and awe of nature. After 20 or 30 years, the fabric becomes softer and the colorful motifs fade away in just the right way to create a unique texture. Manggarai old fabric also has many holes and threads missing. Because cutting and sewing must be done avoiding these damaged parts, seamstresses who can tailor Manggarai fabrics are very rare in Indonesia. This is our original Manggarai series, which was created based on the detailed discussions with seamstresses who know Manggarai very well. The fabric is carefully cut according to the pattern, and after sewing, the threads of frayed motifs are carefully cut one by one, and if any holes are found after sewing, they are repaired. If holes are found after sewing, they are repaired... This is a truly tedious and time-consuming process. Mangalai fabrics are old fabrics, so there may be some damage even after this process. We recommend that you purchase this item if you can accept it as a characteristic of old fabric. Please note that although the fabric has been cleaned, it has been dyed using the Flores Island's unique herb-dyeing process, so some of the products may retain some of the unique fragrance. |

黒や藍がベースになった手織りの生地に、特殊な手法で織りこまれたさまざまなカラフルなモチーフは 彼ら独自の宇宙観や自然に対する畏怖が表現されているといいます。
彼らの布は、日本人をはじめとして、西洋各国の人々を魅了する不思議な魅力を持っています。
織りたてのマンガライ生地は張りがあって色のコントラストもきつく、なにより大変高価なので 洋服に仕立てるには向いていないのですが、20年30年の年月を経て、生地は柔らかくなり カラフルなモチーフもちょうどいい具合に色が落ちてきて独特の風合いを醸し出します。
ただし古布なので、穴あきや糸抜けなどもたくさんあるのがマンガライ古布。
そのダメージ部分を避けてカッティング、縫製をしないといけないので、インドネシアでも マンガライ生地の仕立てをしてくれる縫い子さんは大変希少です。
店長とマンガライのことを知り尽くしている縫い子さんと、綿密な打ち合わせのもとに生まれたのが Raksaオリジナルのマンガライシリーズです。
縫製前はもちろんきれいに洗濯し、注意深く生地をパターンに合わせて一つ一つ裁断し 縫製の後も、ほつれているモチーフ部分の糸をひとつひとつ丁寧にカットし、万が一、縫製後に穴あきなどが見つかれば、その部分を繕う…という、本当に気の遠くなるような作業を 経てお洋服たちが生まれています。
【ご注意】
マンガライ生地は古布のため、このような作業を経ても多少のダメージがある場合があります。
古布の特徴と受け止めて頂ける方にご購入をお勧めします。
フローレス島独特の草木染めで染められた生地なので、
ものによっては多少独特の香りが残っている場合があります。
