About Us
Penyu Concept was born in 2023 as a ‘passion project’ for our founder. Following a recent trip to Bali, our founder found herself back in a cold and unusually wet Canberra winter. Putting on a batik dress acquired during that trip brought feelings of joy and a sense reverence for the Indonesian spirit, something we hope to share with you.
Penyu Concept offers effortlessly stylish and timeless designs. Crafted in Indonesian batik, each design is a wearable artwork that celebrates centuries of culture throughout the diverse archipelago of Indonesia.
Penyu Concept embodies all we love about Indonesia – the warmth and generosity of its people, its vibrant landscapes and the deeply spiritual heartbeat that permeates Indonesian daily life. The lessons learned and memories gained through our Indonesian travel and experiences lie at the heart of Penyu Concept.
Quality and intention are at the centre of everything we do. Each garment is carefully crafted to fit well and last the test of time, and we make mindful choices to ensure we reduce our impact on the environment.
