According to Ave, although the display displayed in his shop is Uis and Karo's special clothes, it is possible for his party to make other traditional clothes.

"It's a Karo display because I'm a Karo. But for others, for example Simalungun, I'm ready to make it too. Because we also cooperate with craftsmen typical of Simalungun and other ethnicities. The point is that we are happy with the guardian's program until we dare to produce again," said Ave.
