Geschiedenis
Founded in Bandung, Indonesia, Dama Kara emerged as a social enterprise focused on the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and community welfare. The brand gained cultural significance by establishing a program that utilizes drawings from children with autism as the basis for its textile patterns. This approach provides a platform for neurodivergent artists within the Indonesian fashion industry. The label contributes to the preservation of batik while addressing social representation and economic empowerment for marginalized groups.
