Visitors of the Trenggalek Fashion Day at the Textie Musuem in Jakarta were amazed by the fashion works of Novita Hardini SE, Chairperson, Regional National Craft Council (Dekranasda), Trenggalek Regency.
Accompanying his wife in the effort to introduce MSME products, Mochamad Nur Arifin, the Regent of Trenggalek,believes, Trenggalek Fashion Day can give enthusiasm to MSME activists in the region.
The efforts of the Chairperson of the Trenggalek Regency Dekranasda in expanding the MSME market in this event are starting to be felt. Like the blusukan at Tanah Abang Market (the largest textile center in Southeast Asia) some time ago. This effort does not only get a response from traders. Just introduced, one of the traders in this market asked for 10 pieces of cloth. That night, I asked for another 20 pieces.
Even then, when it was delivered to the seller, the buyer had been waiting for 5 pieces of cloth. This was confirmed by the Head of the Trenggalek Regency Cooperatives, Micro Enterprises and UMKM Service, Agus Setiyono.
According to him, after the Head of Dekranasda made a visit to Tanah Abang Market, the Trenggalek Regent's hard work paid off immediately. Not only the merchants responded, but several pieces of Trenggalek Batik were immediately sold.
