Our Philosophy
"Science occurs because of the existence of phenomena in nature and awareness in humanity. Because of this, awareness of science is only complete when it is reconciled with the reality of nature. This is the return of science to nature." - Suhu Subur Rahardja, from the Mukadimah Guru Besar
Inspired by our martial art and yogic practices, ilmu is the Indonesian word for science. We design our clothing around your anatomical nature, your physical practice, and with ecological respect to Nature. An elegant and functional fit, natural materials, sustainable, compostable, recycled, pockets. Practice in it, lounge in it, wear it with pearls.
Our fabrics are natural, ultimately biodegradable and remnant cuts are recycled through the TerraCycle recycling program. Clothing reconciled with the reality of Nature. Designed and made in California.
