Safrudin Tonu

With one sewing machine, Safrudin Tonu altered expensive woven fabrics that had piled up unsold into skullcaps, hats and bags typical of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). That way, the economic wheels of the woven fabric craftsmen around them can get rolling.

The whir of Safrudin’s sewing machine was almost drowned out by the sound of passing vehicles on Jalan Timor Raya, Kupang city, Saturday (16/1/2021). That afternoon, Safrudin was busy sewing various skullcaps, hats, waist bags and jackets made from NTT woven fabrics at his simple Hulnani Creative House.
