Abstract
This article interprets the importance of innovating Pasuruan Regency handloom fabrication silk for the Indonesian fashion industry to manifest the textile usage for sustainable fashion or lifestyle concept products. The breakthrough of handloom fabrication silk in Pasuruan Regency in East Java has given the substantial opportunity to utilize the textile for various sustainable products for the Indonesian sustainable fashion industry. Since 2019, East Java has become the essential resource for silkworm cultivation, particularly eri silkworm Samia Cynthia Ricini cocoon with the extracted process without killing the pupa inside into peace silk. Furthermore, to prolong the durability and comfort of the eri silk fibers have integrated with TENCEL™, a sustainable fiber with low water usage and excellent dyeing absorption for natural dyes. The fibers combination and spinning process is the first in Indonesia, where yarns are required for the handloom fabrication silk process by Pasuruan Regency-based MSMEs KaIND. The Handloom fabrication silk utilization promotes the distinctive textile into luxurious, wearable Indonesian sustainable fashion products with locally based natural dyes and Indonesian batik.
