Materials & Craft

CRAFT & MAKING

Lorek Weavers →

  • Woven on traditional pedal looms by our Lorek Weavers in Indonesia using slow, ethical production methods
  • Each textile is produced in small batches, resulting in subtle variation that reflects the handcrafted nature of the fabric while maintaining consistent quality and durability

FABRIC & FIBRE

COLOUR & NATURAL DYEING

  • This piece is naturally dyed using Water Primrose leaves, Mahogany bark and Indigofera Tinctoria
  • These plant-based dyes create soft, muted tones that reflect nature rather than uniform colour
  • Due to the hand-dyeing process and seasonal factors such as sun, rainfall, and water minerals, colour variation is expected and celebrated — each piece is one of a kind. Learn more about our natural dyes →

Care Instructions
  • Cold, hand wash using mild detergent e.g wool/baby detergent (avoid citrus-based products)
  • for convenience: gentle cold machine wash
  • Do not rub or wring. Air dry flat or hang in shade
  • Warm iron if desired
  • No dry cleaning is neccesary – harsh chemicals may damage natural fibers, dyes, and the environment


Our plant-based natural dyes are colorfast. However, no dyeing chemicals means small color runs / slight fading may appear where the natural mordant has not taken to the fabric. Refer to our care for more info.

Styling Notes

Wear the Aria Shirt tucked into tailored trousers for a polished everyday look, or style it loose with relaxed bottoms for an effortless feel. Its clean shape and seasonal fabric make it an easy go-to you’ll reach for again and again.

Great fit and quality as well as representing part of our heritage, the blue Aria batik is my favourite cool shirt. Whether I'm at a sunset beach in Bali, beachfront in Capetown, or just a mall in Singapore, I always get compliments from people whenever I'm wearing my blue RŪPAHAUS shirt. Knowing that the company also reinvest part of its earnings to support the artisans' community is definitely a plus and a story I can tell to my friends and family.

You guys were wonderful to work with when I wanted to return my shirt and swap it for a smaller size. No hassle at all and very friendly and quick service :)) I also want to say a special thanks to Stephanie who met me at the Melbourne markets so that I could swap my shirt over. She was wonderful and very helpful, so thank you!
