Co-founder and Creative Director, Cotton Ink

 

Crowned as one of the successful figures in the field of fashion and e-commerce, Carline continues to amaze everyone with her innovative designs at Cotton Ink, which she describes as "casual with a twist". Upon graduating the LaSalle College of Fashion, Carline received the award for best art student. Afterwards, Carline and her friend Ria Sarwono designed and sold clothes to friends through Facebook. Their success enabled them to quit their jobs as an assistant director and piano teach respectively, to launch Cotton Ink in 2010. Their affordable fashion encourages women to feel confident in its simple styles, comfortable cuts and locally sourced fabrics. The award winning brand announces new collections every week on social media such as Instragram, where they have almost 500k followers. After the increased success of CottonInk, the young and talented Carline Darjanto has been been lauded one of Indonesia’s youngest and most influential designers multiple times. Having been a part of Jakarta Fashion Week and IFF, along with opening multiple stores across the country, there is no denying that CottonInk will continue to soar. Their ultimate dream is to create a sustainable brand with local partners that can be Indonesia's answer to H&M and Uniqlo.
