ike all things in fashion, cloth masks sold to the public have begun to slowly develop into an accessory – ranging from batik-patterned ones for a hint of culture, to prints reminiscent of designer labels to match your purse.
While there is an abundance of vendors you can purchase your mask of the day from, the movement Masker Untuk Indonesia (Mask for Indonesia), allows you to get a striking mask of your own while helping others at the same time.
Initiated by members of the Indonesian creative industry, Masker Untuk Indonesia produces non-medical, reusable cloth masks using printed scuba fabric.
For every purchase of the patterned masks, priced at Rp 39.900 (US$2.73) each, three generic masks will be donated to the public through their distribution partners.
Several major names in the Indonesian creative industry have collaborated with the movement, such as artists Darbotz and Stereoflow, as well as fashion brands Monstore and Imaji Studio. Currently, some 25 artists, including renowned singer Raisa, and nearly 20 brands have joined.
The masks themselves are produced through the online printing service Printerous.
