faedah is an independent Dutch fashion label founded in 2021
Our story
Inspired by our roots in Indonesia and the many trips back to the country, we fell in love with Indonesia’s island of the gods, Bali. Bali has left a special place in our hearth… the culture, rituals, nature, way of living, and above all, the people. Bali became a second home, it has been our place where we go to relax and slow down. A kimono is something we would always wear in Bali, especially when relaxing after a massage or at the beach. We discovered beautiful authentic fabrics in Bali, from all over Indonesia and the idea was born to design kimono’s from these rare fabrics, batik and ikat. While we started with designing these kimono’s in The Netherlands, very quickly we built a small team in Bali to help with the production and sourcing of fabrics, so faedah could also give a positive contribution to the working conditions in Bali and create more opportunity for the people in Bali, something that is very important for the team behind faedah.
‘faedah who wants to use fair and sustainable trade to create and offer a beautiful and qualitative, but above all unique garment/product. For everyone who is interested in this and wants to contribute to a better world, now and in the future’
In everything that we do at faedah, we aim to honour the principles of slow fashion. We strive to deliver conscious collections, with only a limited number of pieces per fabric/style. These limited quantities make each faedah piece unique, with some pieces even only produced as a one-off piece. With special focus on the authentic fabrics, premium quality and the handmade process, our aim is to create thoughtful pieces that are crafted to last a lifetime.
Love,
the faedah team
