Our Story

SUSTAINABLE FASHION IS NOT A TREND. IT IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A BETTER WORLD.

RAJOET began when three women took a trip that becomes an eye opener of two realities: talented artisans whose work went unrecognized, and plastic waste harming local communities.

They wondered—what if one solution could address both?

RAJOET was born from that question: transforming recycled plastic into handwoven designs that empower women artisans and reduce waste.

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

RAJOET means weaving, the patterns we use are shaped by that meaning—each weave carrying the rhythm, texture, and soul of our artisans, crafting trash into treasure. 

Thoughtful and intentional, we design bags that rise above fast-changing trends, offering classic, timeless pieces. More importantly, our bags are made to be functional and durable. Lightweight yet sturdy, they can hold a considerable amount of weight, allowing you to carry your essentials comfortably.

OUR MATERIALS AND PROCESS

Every RAJOET bag starts as plastic waste that could have endangered marine life or added to growing landfills. These plastics are crushed, melted into pellets, and thoroughly cleaned before being transformed into strips that our artisans handwoven into beautiful, functional pieces—from handbags to other lifestyle goods. With a commitment to slow fashion, we design each piece to be timeless and durable.

OUR BAG MAKERS

At RAJOET, we empower women artisans in East Java, starting from Madiun. Many of them are housewives or help their husbands in the fields, where income can be uncertain and work schedules inflexible. Through RAJOET, we provide opportunities that offer stability, fair income, and a better standard of living.
