Pandu Rosadi, managing director Ria Miranda brand and coinitiator of HBBL, said the brands were also raising funds to help the fight against COVID-19. “We're raising funds to produce personal protective gear and face masks for those who need them,” Pandu said.
HBBL is initiated by local brands, namely Brodo, Torch, Ria Miranda, Cottonink, Monomom, Wearstatusquo, Sabine and Heem, Motiviga, Sparse Label, Soleram and Nona. The event aims to support the brands, including micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME), which have been hardly hit by the health crisis. Various brands have reported a 50 percent decrease in sales.
“Now is a crucial time for us to unite and support each other. This initiative is more than just offering promotions to customers, it shows solidarity among local brands,” Achmad said.
Brand registration for HBBL opened in early April for brands. In three days, 476 brands have registered, with 68 percent of them coming from the fashion sector. (wir/wng)
