In 2012, two friends, Galih and Prika, had an idea to revitalize Traditional Indonesian Fabric, which was mostly perceived as old-fashioned attire among younger generations. Manikan was born out of their passion and creativity, with the aim of preserving Indonesia’s treasured culture.

In 2015, Manikan launched its sister brand, Man by Manikan, catering to a more casual style infused with Indonesian art and spirit.

Starting small in Bali, Manikan has now gained popularity across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and Australia.
