These handicrafts made from NTT Sumba weaving are made models of various contemporary clothes such as bomber jackets, dress, etc.
The Second UMKM D' Etnick Istana Mutiara Lombok is an accessories craft made of pearl. This product managed to steal the attention of visitors, especially women, because it was unique and was made directly by the talented hands of Lombok native craftsmen. The beauty of Mutiara Mandalika, Ameera, and Trawangan made of silver made D Etnik penetrate the global market.
