Indonesia’s Bekraf opens pop up in Singapore with fashion start-ups

Bekraf, the Indonesian Creative Economy Agency, has joined with the Indonesian embassy in Singapore to open a pop-up store showcasing Indonesian fashion startups.

Joshua Puji Mulia Simanjuntak, Bekraf’s marketing division deputy head, described Singapore as an important market for Indonesian creative industries, particularly for fashion, as a prospective hub to reach Asean and global markets.

The fashion industry in Indonesia contributes over half of all creative exports from the country, an economy that generated US$20 billion to 2016 figures.

At least 14 brands will participate in the event running at Paragon Mall during August.
