Here at Loro Blonyo, our mission, values and goals are:

To recognise all traditional skilled artisans in Indonesia as genius creators, not just mere craftsmen. We have to make them proud of their talent.

We were afraid the tradition may fade in the face of modernity, so we strive to preserve the art of Loro Blonyo by empowering future generations with this knowledge, and educating young people in the necessary skills to continue this traditional craft.

We continue to employ older skilled artisans, regardless of gender and age, hence providing them with a secure income in their later years.

Each purchase of a Loro Blonyo means that many skilled artisans today can continue working to produce them, and to teach younger artisans who will carry these skills into the future.

Loro Blonyo aims to give back to society by operating an honest business that prioritises people’s livelihoods and needs.

For us, it’s not just a business but people first.

Javanese Philosophy

“Urip iku urup” is a Javanese proverb meaning “life is light.” Life should bring benefit and goodness to others—the more good one does, the more valuable one’s life becomes.
