Denica Riadini-Flesch, 34, is leading a quiet revolution in the fashion world. She founded SukkhaCitta, a slow-fashion brand that partners with hundreds of farmers and artisans (工匠) on Java and neighboring islands in Indonesia. Every piece of fabric in the brand’s collection is made completely from plants. The entire process, from seed to clothes, takes about 60 to 180 days.
The slow-fashion movement has arisen in opposition to the values of fast fashion. The fast-fashion approach relies on factories and often harms both workers and the environment. Riadini-Flesch believes that the “farm to closet” model can help consumers see how their choices directly affect people and the Earth. Her journey started with a desire to use her own knowledge to uplift others and protect the planet.
In Indonesia, about 24 million people, many of whom live in rural villages, still struggle to make a living wage. Growing up in Jakarta, Riadini-Flesch experienced the country’s deep-rooted inequality and studied development economics in college. When she began traveling the countryside in 2013, she met three batik artisans in a village near Tuban, in EastJava. They told her that the ancient craft they had learned from their mothers was at risk.With limited resources, the artisans had switched to cheaper chemical dyes that burned their lungs.Even then, they could not compete with factories.
In the months that followed, Riadini-Flesch saw how the modern fashion supply chain affected farmers as well. They had replaced cotton with monoculture crops like corn, harming the soil, plants, and wildlife. Both of these age-old practices were deeply rooted in village life; they just needed to be restored. Slow fashion, she realized, could be a powerful tool for change.
Although she only had $2,000, Riadini-Flesch put that money into paying the batik artisans a living wage. This allowed her to create her first sample: a bandanna she called butterfly. By 2019, three years after its founding, the company had drawn enough interest from residents near Tuban to open its first craft school. There, artisans can teach batik to younger generations and farmers can learn about regenerative ways to grow cotton. Villagers are now using a traditional technique that lets multiple plants grow together and nourish each other. The technique allows rural Indonesians to grow cotton for SukkhaCitta while providing more food for their families.
Over the past four years, SukkhaCitta has opened four more craft schools, launched a platform for sourcing its regenerative materials, and partnered with 11 villages. So far, the brand has helped communities restore roughly 118 acres of formerly commercial farmland, which has improved the lives of 1,500 people.
One thing SukkhaCitta rejects is following traditional seasonal fashion calendars and overworking either the artisans or the land. “You cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet,” Riadini-Flesch says. This is wisdom shared by the artisans, who also taught her another inspiring philosophy: “Urip Iku Urup”. We live to bring light.

A．To train workers to replace imported fabrics with local ones.
B．To prepare rural youth for careers in the global fashion industry.
C．To teach the artisans how to produce faster and compete with factories.
D．To ensure the survival of traditional skills and eco-friendly agriculture.

A．Preserving traditional methods and rejecting adaptations.
B．Following seasonal fashion cycles to meet market demand.
C．Respecting ecological limits and valuing artisans’ well-being.
