Our Story — From a Small Village to a Big Dream
Our story
From the wetlands of Borneo to the world.
Our story begins in Sabintulung Village, East Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia, where purun grows naturally across the surrounding wetlands.
For generations, weaving has been part of the knowledge passed down within the local community. Using their hands, experience, and craftsmanship, Sabintulung artisans transform this natural material into functional and beautifully crafted products.
Local hands
A craft that continues to grow.
Based on oral accounts from senior artisans and members of the Sabintulung community, purun handicrafts have been produced in the village since 1996.
In 2022, the craft entered a new stage of development through more structured training and product development, helping local artisans strengthen their skills and create a wider variety of products.
Many of these artisans are women and homemakers from our own village.
2024 · A village milestone
Recognized in East Kalimantan (Borneo).
In 2024, Purun Handicrafts were assessed and field-verified as a flagship product of Sabintulung Village through a process involving the Government of East Kalimantan (Borneo) Province and the Government of Kutai Kartanegara Regency.
The journey reached another milestone on 30 September 2024, when Sabintulung Village, with Purun Handicrafts as its flagship village product, was awarded 8th Place in the Village Flagship Product Category at the 2024 Anugerah Desa Membangun by the Government of East Kalimantan (Borneo) Province.
For the artisans of Sabintulung, this recognition represents an important milestone in the continued development of a craft rooted in the village and shaped by local hands.
