Tulisan, Jakarta-Indonesia

If you, like me do not like to purchase run-of-the-mill souvenirs for your favorite people back home, Tulisan is the place to go to, if you are in the Indonesian capital. They carry a collection of handmade, limited-edition illustrated prints that are applied to everyday items like bags, notecards and other household items. The founder, Melissa Sunjaya has summed it all up here.

"Jakarta is not London, Paris, New York or many other great cities. Nevertheless, true beauty does not always spring from gorgeous cities, but it comes from staying true to who we are."

These are some of my purchases. I love that the bags come with an illustrated notecard.
