The intricate embroidery is inspired by indigenous tattoo motifs. Among the Dayak people, such as the Iban and Pantang, tattoos have carried various meanings over the generations. They can indicate a person's achievements or be worn as protection against malicious spirits, among other things. In this design, you can find several powerful symbols. At the center is the Bunga Terung, or rosette, representing valiance and courage, with the spiral symbolizing the circle of life. On the sides are scorpions, which were commonly tattooed on the warriors of Borneo for protection in battle.

The intricate embroidery is based on our journey to Mount Bromo, an active volcano in East Java. The cloud pattern, called mega mendung, is a classic Indonesian motif inspired by Chinese iconography. The clouds are a bringer of rain and regarded as symbols of fertility and life. With the monsoon, people of all backgrounds are brought together. Too much rain can lead to destruction of property and not enough rain will destroy the crops. Only the right amount of rain will nourish the fields and maintain harmony.

The pattern and symbols are borrowed from the intricate detailing of puppets used in Wayang Kulit, a traditional form of puppet theater. In Java, many of the stories link to Hinduism; for instance, the Ramayana, an epic about Lord Rama, whose wife Site is abducted by the demon Ravenna. Traditionally, the performer used oil lamps to light the scene as he created a show on a white cloth for viewers on the other side. Behind the performer are musicians who create the accompanying music and sound effects to help tell the story to the enchanted viewers.

The gingham pattern uses the traditional textile poleng. With this pattern, the story goes back to the philosophy of balance, called Rwa Bhineda. The specific design for this shoe is saput poleng. Saput literally means ‘blanket’ and poleng means ‘in two tones.’ In this blanket is an equal number of dark and light squares. As a whole their intertwining represents the coexistence of opposites and the ultimate goal of spiritual harmony. The fabric is often seen wrapped around the base of sacred statues.

This design is inspired by Indonesian batik fabric. The border pattern is called Parang, meaning cliff, ridge, or slope in Javanese. It is one of the oldest batik patterns and considered awisan dalem, a pattern reserved for the royal family and once forbidden outside the royal courts. The waves symbolize the unceasing spirit to strive for excellence, like waves pounding against the cliffs. The amaryllis featured at the center is symbolic of love, beauty, and determination.

The Balinese symbol for Om is encircled by the Sun. Like all representations of Om, the meaning is derived from Sanskrit. The rishis, known as the "seers of thought" in the ancient Vedas, heard the vibration of Om when meditating on the sound of the universe. Om is used at the beginning and end of sacred texts and mantras, and is believed to signify the reality of ultimate consciousness and the atman, the Hindu equivalent of the soul that exists in each one of us.

The raffia texture for this mule is inspired by traditional weavings found in many parts of Indonesia. On the islands, weaving is a craft passed down from generation to generation and each product reflects the style of a particular family. Traditionally weavings are used as wall hangings, blankets, pillows, bags, and table covers. They are made with materials such as cotton, gold and silver threaded silk, and fibers from local plants and trees. For comfort, our raffia mule is lined with sustainable cotton.
