Abstract

This research provides practical insights into integrating local wisdom, a traditional knowledge and cultural practice repository, with global innovation in creating sustainable, fashionable, and environmentally friendly craft product designs. It investigates adapting traditional techniques and materials to meet the demands of the modern market while preserving cultural and ecological values. It underscores the importance of collaboration between local artisans, designers, and global stakeholders to collective action in achieving sustainability goals. The resulting craft products meet fashion and functionality standards and contribute to cultural and environmental preservation. They outdo expectations, effectively conveying sustainability messages and local wisdom and boosting global appeal.
