Sejoli Sejauh: Astien & Febrian

Astien and Febrian’s journey goes all the way back to junior high school. They’ve known each other for 13 years—quite a long time, especially considering they’ve broken up and gotten back together more than once. Despite those bumps in the road, they’ve now decided to commit seriously to each other’s future.

Their first year of high school brought a sweet memory: going out for a meal together after class. Over time, they grew closer, but it wasn’t always smooth sailing. At one point, Astien studied in Jakarta while Febrian was in Yogyakarta, which meant navigating a long-distance relationship. Daily calls, weekend visits, and constant communication kept them connected until they reunited for good.

For their pre-wedding photos, they wanted something that reflected their playful spirit. Both had heard of Sejauh Mata Memandang, and to their delight, the photographer also recommended it. They fell in love with the unique patterns and modern colors, eventually choosing pieces like the “Tambal” Tencel Outer for the shoot. According to Astien, the materials felt soft and looked fantastic in photos—enough to spark curiosity from friends and family.

Beyond fashion, Astien has also been inspired by Chitra Subyakto, the founder of Sejauh Mata Memandang, particularly in adopting mindful habits in daily life. She tries to start small, such as reducing paper and tissue usage. For Astien and Febrian, these little changes—together with the love and understanding they’ve built over the years—are what truly add up, proving that every thoughtful step can make a difference in a shared journey.
