Sejauh Mata Memandang, MULIH, and Fashion Revolution Indonesia Host “Kembali Baik” Workshop for Fashion Revolution Week 2025

In celebration of Fashion Revolution Week 2025, Sejauh Mata Memandang collaborated with MULIH and Fashion Revolution Indonesia to host the “Kembali Baik” workshop on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at Plaza Indonesia. Through this event, we invited more #SahabatSejauh to rediscover the value of repairing—rather than replacing.

Amidst the fast-paced cycle of trends and consumption, this gathering served as a warm and thoughtful pause. Led by Beverly Tandjung, Co-Founder of MULIH, participants learned the art of sashiko—a traditional Japanese stitching technique that beautifully combines function and artistry. More than a way to mend fabric, each stitch became a reminder: that repair is a form of care—care for the planet, for craft, and for the hands that make.

This workshop was part of Mend In Public Day, a global movement initiated by Fashion Revolution. ” Across the globe, communities came together to repair their clothes, reminding us that systemic change often begins with small, mindful actions—like a simple needle and thread.

“We believe that change doesn't always have to come in big forms. Small actions like mending clothes can be the start of big changes in the way we view and consume fashion,” said Chitra Subyakto, Founder and Creative Director of Sejauh Mata Memandang. “Together with Sahabat Sejauh and collaborators like Fashion Revolution and MULIH, we want to show that there are many paths to more responsible and circular practices.”

Safina Maulida, Country Coordinator, Fashion Revolution Indonesia added, “Individual actions—which appear as daily routines, such as gathering, learning, and repairing together—show that each individual has the power to determine the direction of the industry. These collective actions can also ultimately lead to a change in the way policymakers perceive the urgency of issues in the fashion industry.”

Through “Kembali Baik,” we hope to show that repairing isn’t just about extending the life of garments; it’s about preserving stories, honoring skills, and bringing new meaning into what we wear.
