PINTU Indonesian-French Fashion Incubator is a bilateral program, designed for Indonesian and French creatives and SMEs in the fashion business. Its goal is to prepare talent for international exposure, with a strong focus on sustainability and traditional know-how. It is meant to create a more creative and positive impacting landscape for both the fashion industry and consumers, through the creation of projects that preserve the culture of exquisite craftsmanship and traditional know-how both in Indonesia and France, to be more visible and recognized.
At the core of PINTU is the partnership between Indonesian fashion industry champion JF3, the fashion ecosystem LAKON Indonesia and the French Embassy in Indonesia and Institut français d’Indonésie (IFI). The partners have in common the willingness to encourage the emergence of new design talents in Indonesia and France, preserving culture through fashion by nurturing and elevating traditional craftsmanship and catalyze economic development and co-creation opportunities in the long term, in Indonesia, in France and on the international market.
In collaboration with various organizations including the Institut Français in Paris, Department of Tourism and Creative Economy of Jakarta, Fashion School LPTB Susan Budihardjo, and Pradita University, these partnerships aim to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem, enhance business knowledge, and cultivate a dynamic environment for growth.
