Zilingo Indonesia's Head of Enterprise, Kang Ay Lie, predicts that mid-April will be the peak of the increase in purchases of modest fashion production materials. Along with the growing hope of the community to celebrate Eid with family by wearing trendy new clothes.

“Earlier this year, the purchase of cloth in Zilingo rose significantly. Demand fell in mid-February due to the third wave of COVID-19 as producers are still monitoring developments to increase production volume. Overall, business actors are more optimistic about producing this year, especially if it is supported by government policies regarding the rules for going home and Eid leave," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, April 28.
