MYSAYANG

Production Locations

• Indonesia (Bali and Java)

WORKING CONDITIONS & WAGES

MYSAYANG produces its products exclusively in Indonesia. The entire collection is handmade in close collaboration with roughly 20 local tailoring families. Founder Anya lives in Bali herself and is heavily involved in the production process, which enables a direct, personal relationship with the producers and implies a regular presence on site. The brand does not have its own production facility, but works uniquely with a small, fixed circle of partners, which provides a certain level of stability and reliability.

The brand avoids common certifications such as GOTS or Fairtrade and instead favours transparency through proximity. All pieces are handmade, often produced to order and made from locally sourced, natural materials. In addition, MYSAYANG supports a coconut and cotton farm on Java, which indicates a broader sense of responsibility in the supply chain.

In terms of inclusivity, the brand adopts unisex designs and one-size-fits-all principles to reflect body diversity rather than standard sizing. The products are timeless and simple.

MATERIALS

• Cotton
• Hand-woven cotton
• Linen
• Cowhide leather

MYSAYANG primarily uses natural materials such as cotton, hand-woven cotton, linen and cowhide. The brand sources its fabrics locally in Indonesia and favours hand-dyed and hand-printed textiles, some of which are produced using electricity-free hand weaving. 

Hand-woven cotton is considered to be more resource-friendly as it is produced without machines, which saves energy and supports traditional craftsmanship.

PACKAGING

MYSAYANG uses cotton bags made from reclaimed materials for product packaging and ships orders with FedEx, either in reusable FedEx envelopes or in paper bags.

WATER USE & CHEMICALS

The brand emphasises that its fabrics are hand-dyed, hand-printed and sometimes stone-washed using natural processes, which indicates a lower industrial chemical impact. In addition, hand-woven fabrics are produced without electricity – which saves energy and often requires less water. However, there is no information on exact dyeing methods, dyes used or their environmental impact.

Synthetic fibres, which could potentially release microplastics, are not used.

Circular Product Design

MYSAYANG predominantly uses monomaterials, which creates favourable conditions for recyclability. No material blends of plant and synthetic fibres are mentioned, which is preferable from a circular perspective. 

A take-back service for used clothing is not offered, nor is there any information on repair services.

Circular Business Model

MYSAYANG does not offer a repair service. According to the company, it has hardly received any complaints in the last eight years. Each item of clothing is carefully checked by four people, including the founder, before dispatch, which is why there has been no need for repairs to date. 

There is no returns programme for used or worn clothing. Returns are only accepted in exceptional cases – for example, if a product is sent back in its original packaging. However, the brand points out that returns are extremely rare. 

The brand focuses exclusively on the sale of newly manufactured individual items that are handmade and made to order. The longevity of the products is emphasised, but there are no specific circular measures.

DISTANCE & SUPPLY CHAIN COMPLEXITY

• Bali (design, manufacturing, hand dyeing, hand printing)
• Java (coconut and cotton farm, material sourcing)
• MYSAYANG HQ is located on the west coast of Bali, Indonesia.

MYSAYANG’s supply chain is simple and locally based, with a short distance between material source and production.

TRANSPORTATION

• MYSAYANG procures its materials exclusively locally within Indonesia, particularly in Java, and processes them in Bali. Transport routes in the supply chain are therefore short and minimised. This speaks to a more resource-conserving and regionally oriented approach, even if no further detailed information is provided on the means of transport.
• The products are shipped worldwide from Bali. There are no details on the shipping method, the shipping service providers used or CO₂ offsets.

• Cowhide 
• The exact origin of the cowhide is not transparently documented by MYSAYANG. According to the brand, the leather comes from farm animals in Java, which would otherwise remain unused. It is used exclusively for select bag models such as the LUCU BIG Weekender.

No information on certifications is available. MYSAYANG does not provide any specific animal welfare guidelines or a code of conduct for the handling of animal materials.

PRODUCT DESIGN

MYSAYANG offers a wide selection of clothing and accessories for women, men and unisex apparel. The range includes blouses, dresses, skirts, trousers, jackets, kimonos and T‑shirts, complemented by accessories such as bags, belts, scarves and home textiles. 

The brand attaches great importance to inclusivity in the sizing system. MYSAYANG relies on ​‘One Size Fits Most’ to avoid categorising bodies by fixed sizes. Many designs are gender-neutral and are intended to be wearable for as many people as possible.

SLOW FASHION PROCESSES

MYSAYANG follows a slow fashion model and does not have a classic collection rhythm. Instead of presenting new collections several times a year, the brand works with a constant, timeless collection that is gradually supplemented with individual designs.

All products are made exclusively to order to avoid overproduction and reduce resource use.

PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY 

Only basic information is provided on the MYSAYANG product pages. This includes the product name, material details and a brief description.

Information on the country of production or the specific production site is not listed there, but can only be found in general sections of the website. It is therefore not possible to trace individual item information.

PROCESS TRANSPARENCY

On its website, MYSAYANG provides a general insight into its production methods and philosophy, particularly with regard to local production in Bali, co-operation with around 20 tailor families and the sourcing of materials from a cotton and coconut farm on Java. However, this information can only be found on higher-level pages and not on the individual product pages.

Traceability at product level is not offered.

A sustainability report or a regular report on social and environmental issues is not published.
