Mayda is a friendly and happy woman who is always smiling. I was born in East Java, she says. My hobby is making designs in my sketch book.

When I was little, I loved to draw houses, landscapes and the human figure. These then changed to dresses, bags, jewelry and other fashion sketches when I became a teenager, and I still sketch these themes today.

After I graduated from the university, I moved to Bali and worked in a garment company for two years. There I could really develop my hobby of fashion design and I learned more about clothing.

Although I've lived in Bali since 2000, I haven't forgotten my village in Java. Together with several friends, I formed a group of people there to create home decor items, fashion accessories like bags and jewelry, and also dresses. Until now, our shoppers were local people. But today we can show our work internationally.

Shop all NOVICA products

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
