"Even though KaIND is still a new brand, the design and batik coloring techniques create a soul from the heart. One of Indonesia's prime heritage comes within success to a greater world." Mr. Ferry Sunarto Top Indonesian Designer

"My wife is a scarf collector. She owns lots of scarfs but the one from KaIND is one of her favorites. It gives her casual outfits a touch of class. The material is light yet gives her warmth in cool weather." Mr. Peter Setiono President Director FashionTV Indonesia

"I'm loving every bit of this! Kaind is a creative fruit of my beautiful friend, in between her busy time managing construction business on a pair of sky high stilleto hahaha. She works with fashion vocational high school students and amazing tattooed male Batik artisans in Pasuruan, east Java. Together they created new beauty in various NaturalDye. When Museum Kain team visited her in May 2015, conceptual ideas were still brewing, so happy to finally see an exquisite final result. Looking forward for more indigo excitement with you." Ms Annissa Gultom Director of Museum Kain by BIN House

""Its been a few months for me as a loyal customer for KaIND. Blue indigo was the first one i have and i feel in love instantly. And of course its not hard to make me fall again and again with all their collection till today, i always love how they capture Indonesian heritage into a handwoven scarf with so many motifs and colors."" Tiffany & Jevier Justin Presenter, Singer & Host Insert TransTV

"Bahan batik tenun KaIND sangat nyaman, karena itu karakternya cocok dengan baju-baju simple dan modern. Karakter batik tenun ini adalah hasil karya salah satu murid saya ketika saya masih memimpin sebuah sekolah fashion di Surabaya. Saya tidak mengira bahwa dia lebih memilih untuk eksplorasi fashion yang sarat dengan kearifan lokal. Dimana prosesnya dimulai dari menenun kain, kemudian membatiknya, memberi kemasan yang sangat cantik, memperhatikan sisi branding dan marketing kemudian baru menjualnya. Untuk saya itu adalah sesuatu perkembangan yang sangat membanggakan bagi seorang Guru." Bu Aryani Widagdo Fashion Educationist & Founder Arva School of Fashion Surabaya

In a world striving to answer the call for change in how we produce and use our
products, Melie Indarto came forth with KAIND. Through KAIND, Melie's vision
provides a multi-layered solution to several problems at once. Melie is able to
create work for silk-worm farmers, provide a sustainable slow-fashion solution in
the local Indonesian fashion industry, as well as preserve the traditional batik
heritage of her regency. As a trailblazer and change-maker of her time in her
community, she truly deserves to be acknowledged as a Woman of Tomorrow.

Melie is an enthusiastic woman, who is open-minded for collaboration, innovation
and things needed for Indonesian sustainability development. She is courageous
and determined person for positive impact for her environment and Indonesian
fashion industry.

I've known Melie since we were junior high students and she never ceases to
inspire me. Since then Melie was already passionate about fashion and dreamed of
becoming a fashion designer. I knew that she relentlessly pursued her dream
through ups and downs and she just never gave up. When she finally opened a
small creative community in her hometown, I sincerely admired her courage and
determination. Now that small boutique has grown into a special brand; KaIND,
one who empowers local wisdom and promotes sustainable fashion and ecofriendly industry. KaIND delicately captures the beauty of Pasuruan nature while
keeping up with modern style and comfort. I am sure that Melie and her brand will
go miles globally and bring pride to Indonesia's fashion industry.

Melie Indarto is one of the most determined person I have ever known. Her
contribution for society especially empowering the less fortunate people to be able
to work and have their crafts to be seen by the world through KaIND, it is indeed a
blessing in disguise, she has embarked on the journey to promote her love to
Indonesia while making sure that the bright future of our prestigious heritage is in
the right hand of ours.

Melie Indarto is a woman of purpose who is kind, motivated and positive.
She is the heart and soul of KaIND, a local Batik company which has been helpful
towards improving the knowledge and skills of the locals in Pasuruan to preserve
Indonesia's Batik heritage. I was honored to get the chance to collaborate with her
during the pandemic year, which she had shown great resilience and dependability
throughout. Her values are to be praised as she dedicates her time, energy and
resources to always helping others in need, making an impact both towards the
society as well as the environment. Truly an inspirational woman in life and in
work.
