The name "Soeji" (pronounced soo-ji) comes from Javanese and means something like "pure" or "unadulterated" - which is exactly what our products are all about.

When we came across several small weaving workshops during a stay in Indonesia in the summer of 2019, we quickly recognized the potential of these amazing products. We started talking to the owners, and it became clear that they were interested in bringing our designs to life.

Since then, we have designed and produced many wonderful products based on traditional patterns, curated a small but beautiful assortment, and finally made it available to a wider audience in our online shop in June 2020.

For our home and fashion accessories, we only use natural, environmentally friendly materials (which would otherwise often end up in the trash because they are considered waste products or weeds) and the work of experienced Indonesian artisans. Every sale of our handmade products thus sustainably supports rural communities in earning a living. Especially the elderly, who can no longer work in agriculture, benefit greatly from the jobs these workshops create.

Thanks to our close cooperation with local small producers without intermediaries and long communication channels, we can guarantee very good working conditions and wages and precisely track the origin of the raw materials.

A pleasant side effect for you are fair prices, of which you can be sure that a lot goes to the producers and little to international companies.
