Apart from that, many original Indonesian brands are starting to enter the international market. However, Indonesia is not even one of the top 10 clothing, textile, footwear and leather (CTFL) suppliers to South Africa.
"So we initiated Threads of Indonesia to promote Indonesian TPT to the South African market," said Ambassador Saud in a media releecase on Wednesday (13/9/2023).
The fashion show was followed by business matching activities. Apart from the two designers who were present directly in Cape Town, buyers also met with 29 other Indonesian suppliers virtually.
Arief Ilham Ramadhan, First Secretary of the Indonesian Embassy in Pretoria, said Threads of Indonesia actually started on 6 July when his office held business matching activities in Durban. (WHY)
