Abstract

Cigondewah area is home to the largest textile centre in Bandung city, West Java province, Indonesia, which plays an essential role in developing the fashion industry in Bandung and Indonesia. In addition to selling textiles, in the Cigondewah Textile Center, especially in Kelurahan Cigondewah Kaler, there is also a trade area that sells clothing fasteners materials, such as zipper, webbing, buckles, shoelaces, and more. Since the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-19) pandemic has spread globally, Indonesians have also felt the economic impact, including at Cigondewah Kaler Textile Center. The slowdown in trade circulation causes a decrease in traders’ profits and the accumulation of goods in the shophouse area. Through a design study approach, efforts are made to find alternative solutions. The research stage begins with conducting interviews with traders and the government in Kelurahan Cigondewah Kaler to collect data related to the research. The next step by the experimental process of clothing fasteners material using the weaving technique is to create textile samples to develop craft product designs with three categories: interior, fashion, and fashion accessories. To find their general preferences of the target market of this product, the next stage is a product test for respondents who can become the potential target market, there are women aged 20-40 years old who live in various big cities in Indonesia. The test results are then interpreted as findings in this study, including the target market’s tendency towards interior products, the most desirable experimental textile pattern, the preference of minimalist design choices, and suggestions for types of products that need to be developed. Through the upcycling design principle, the research aims to increase clothing fasteners value, both in aesthetic appearance, function value, and selling price, to be an indirect solution for traders in the Cigondewah Kaler Textile Center, after being economically and socially affected by the COVID -19 pandemics.
