“…The woven production work process is a 'artwork process' requiring a great deal of creativity from the artisans, and the woven goods produced by employees should not be mocked or scolded (Vaughn and Jacquez, 2020). These woven motifs have been developed with many variables in mind, including aesthetics, function in clothing, economy (affordable pricing by customers), ergonomics (product comfort when worn), quality, socio-cultural environment, and natural environment (Angelova, 2023).…”

Lurik woven cloth is a traditional Indonesian textile. Its very existence is the primary potential for the national clothing in Indonesia. The word 'lurik' is derived from the type of motif generated by weft and warp threads, producing classic vertical or horizontal stripes. The growing lurik industry today produces an extensive variety of threads for specific uses, including polyester threads for fabrics and knitted products and nylon threads for the manufacture of accessories.The objective of the experiment reported here is to develop a pattern design for the traditional lurik woven fabrics using an innovative strategy of graded color warp threads and various color weft threads to reach a wider target audience. The weft used in weaving is made of synthetic threads. Its weaving originality arises from the composition of bright and contrasting colors to create an active visual impact full of energy and passion.The lurik woven motifs produced through this experiment have been chosen as a clothing product and has received positive feedback from the consumers. In fact, fashion designers are among those who use lurik woven fabric with colorful weft threads as the main material for their designs. This paper shows that the international market demand is expanding and is steadily improving for the products of lurik weaving.

Environmental damage and the resulting global warming are two of the most serious threats to living species. These problems are the result of industrialization in all fields. The textile and fashion industries bear a negative impact on the environment and contribute significantly to water, air, and solid waste pollution. Over the last decades, consumer buying habits have shifted, and clothing purchases have increased dramatically. The manufacturing process of these textiles, from pretreatment to dyeing and finishing, involves the use of numerous chemicals that are harmful to both humans and the planet. Textiles have been identified as unsustainable products due to their entire life cycle, from raw material cultivation to manufacturing, and generate a large amount of toxic waste and greenhouse gases. Therefore, embedding sustainability in strategy is essential to meet evolving investor pressure, consumer demand, and regulatory requirements. More alternatives are available, such as ecofriendly textiles. Governments are promoting the idea of ecolabels and sustainability standards that endorse the textile’s “ecofriendliness”. Ecolabeling stimulates consumers and manufacturers to buy and produce ecotextiles, simultaneously allowing consumers to compare the various products. Consumers are gradually requesting more ecofriendly products. To save our environment and future generations, the textile industry must become more sustainable. Major brands should implement sustainable manufacturing practices. This review paper investigates the requirements of ecofriendly textiles, restricted substances, and ecolabeling in the textile industry and highlights the need to enhance the expertise and information existing in the design process with regard to the sustainability of finished products in order to create a more sustainable textile sector. Such a shift is only feasible if the designers are guided by a clear vision of design for sustainability.
