WASTE SOURCED SERAT

Light as a summer’s breeze that caresses the skin, cooling and soothing, HYPATIA Serat is a genuinely sustainably woven fabric from a maximum of 50% pineapple waste and a proprietary blend of artisanal silk and/or locally sourced cotton. Our Serat comes in four densities – sheer, transparent, semi-transparent, and non-transparent.

HYPATIA Serat is visionary and a fabric of the future. A future where the dignity of the artisan and the well-being of Mother Nature are restored. A future where integrity, communality, and stewardship are prized, and ancient artisanal traditions are honored and preserved. A future where a virtuous economic cycle gives back and replenishes.

HYPATIA Serat — represents the Future we like to see.

TRADITIONAL INSPIRED BATIK TULIS

Authentic and beautiful, HYPATIA Batik Tulis revives the unique artisan craft of hand-drawn textile design for which Indonesia is famous. In a dialogue with traditional and contemporary aesthetics, HYPATIA Batik Tulis designs are inspired by Nature’s many life forms. Our textile designs represent lesser-known endangered species in the oceans, on land, and in the air. We pay tribute to the greatness that is the universe.

HYPATIA Batik Tulis — advocates on behalf of Life.

NATURE DERIVED SULAM

Meticulously crafted and stylish, HYPATIA Sulam embroidery lends grace and elegance to any garment – it makes it sing! 
Stitch by stitch, we preserve one of Indonesia’s most beautiful heritage traditions for future generations.

Our on-fabric embroidery and 3D appliqués are sustainably sewn on HYPATIA Serat fabric. HYPATIA Sulam is inspired by nature’s ingenious designs.

Sold individually, Hypatia 3D Sulam appliqués invite you to transform your clothes into personalized statement pieces. One of a kind.

HYPATIA EMPOWERS.

UNIQUE EXCLUSIVE GARMENT

The HYPATIA vision and philosophy culminates in our Combinable mix and match garments. Based on a concept that life is a Kaleidoscope that embraces the Individual as well as the Whole, that Past, Present and Future happen simultaneously — HYPATIA Combinables are dresses, blouses and skirts that can be adapted by adding and exchanging various extensions to the sleeves and hem. A breezy beach dress transforms into an elegant dinner gown with a few pieces of cloth buttoned on.

Voilà! Easy, simple, sophisticated and curated by you in the HYPATIA spirit.
