For those of you who do not know, the label is famous for creating handbag using main material such as loom. For its secondary division, they recently released fold backpack and bum bag which are very suitable for those who love traveling in style. Both of the bags are available with exquisite leather, heavy cotton, and a touch of woven cloth Ikat from Jepara that people in the market called blanket. M.A.N by Manikan itself is intended for active men who are edgy and love their own culture.

Back in 2010 when Manikan‘s owners started the talk about making brand with Tenun Ikat as the component they decided to make a laptop bag. The plan later was scrapped away in 2011, instead making laptop bag they changed into woman’s bag. There are many reasons behind the decision. Woman’s bag has many varities than man or laptop bag, and woman love bright color in Tenun Ikat than man who preer darker color. In 2012 when they launched Manikan Envelope Bag, they were very suprised that many their male friends came and asked us to made Man Collection. To cater their friends wishes they made Manikan Tribal Rucksack, and they decided to always make one collection for man in the future.
