Designer Profile
Lourdes
In every design, Lourdes reveals a quiet dialogue between who she is and who she is becoming. A medical doctor, entrepreneur, content creator, and model, Lourdes steps into Jakarta Fashion Week for the first time — introducing her debut collection under her label, ESEMU.
For Lourdes, fashion is not a departure from medicine, but an extension of it — both rooted in precision, empathy, and a deep understanding of human expression. Through ESEMU, she channels her emotions into form, creating pieces that feel both purposeful and deeply personal. “Fashion has always been my language of self-expression,”
This debut marks more than a milestone in her creative journey; it is a reflection of her evolution — of a woman who dares to embrace all sides of herself. With ESEMU, Lourdes redefines modern femininity intelligent, emotional, and unapologetically authentic.
Shinta Witoyo Dhanuwardoyo
At the heart of Esemu is Shinta Witoyo Dhanuwardoyo — a visionary co-founder who infuses fashion with soul, storytelling, and purpose. With her other co-founders, Shinta brings her artistic sensibility and sharp creative direction to shape the brand’s bold identity. Her vision for Esemu is to transform bags into expressions of individuality: wearable objects that carry emotion, character, and meaning.
Inspired by sculptural silhouettes and the playful minimalism of brands like Jacquemus, Esemu challenges norms and invites experimentation in every collection. With deep roots in Indonesia and a forward-looking spirit, Shinta envisions Esemu as a platform for rising designers and collaborators — a brand that dares to be different while staying grounded in intention, integrity, and style.
For her, Esemu is more than a bag brand—it is a canvas for experimentation, rebellion, and purpose-driven creativity. With its roots in Indonesia but eyes on the global stage, Esemu dares to ask: what if a bag could be your voice?
