C59

Familiar with it? It was a popular silk-screening in Bandung. They chooses this name because C stands for the first alphabet of the owner’s street house and 59 is the owner’s house number. He said that we have to make a unique and an easy-remembered name for a brand. Sometimes it may mean for an individual problem like Amanda Bakery. It is a famous brownies bakery that had branches in many other places. And so, Amanda itself stands for Anak MANtu DAmai (Peaceful Brother in Law).They choosed it because when they want to start the business, their family was in chaos. What is good in C 59? They have the same price for center store or branches stores. They were creative, inovative, and well communicated. Here, we saw the process to silk-screening and cloth making. They taught us how to do it and allowed us to try it as well. The place for silk-screening was not an exclusive air-conditioner room. They use traditional way. They have fan everywhere and half-opened room to allow the sun light goes in. The silk-screening procedure have to be done color per color. When they made one color, they’ll fan it with hairdryer and waited for 5-10 minutes, then continue with the next color. They can make the pattern and colour by themself. The owner of C 59 is graduated from French. He flew back to Indonesia and one day when he wanted to buy clothes, he thought that he did not want this stripes, he want another colour of patterns, and so on. From that day, he got an idea, “why don’t I made clothes that people can ask for the colour, patterns, and pictures?” So then, C 59 was stand proudly and is still successful until now. For an information, the owner of C 59 and the owner of a distro named Evil is siblings.
