I'm Indonesian and allow me to correct the fabulous Ms Walker. The word "ibu" in Indonesian has 2 meanings. First is the word for mother. The second is a form of respectful prefix to a woman, regardless of her age and marital status. That is why in Indonesia we don't have Women's Day. Instead we have Hari Ibu (Day of Ibu) every 22nd December to comemorate the awakening of Indonesian women from different ethnic groups, religious background, ages & marital status who declared their support for one nation in Dec 22nd, 1928.
GORGEOUS!!! "A celebration of the world's cultural diversity!" That's what I love about collecting when I use to travel. And Ali McGraw's IBU fashions are so my style. I just ADORE this video. Thank you so much. Seeing it just made my day!
She is adapting the culture and textiles from Malaysia, Borneo, Indonesia, Brunei, I see elements from Myanmar etc. Our cultures ate very rich, and wonderful. We are very proud of it
wow...Ibu means mother and also a senior female ...in Bahasa Indonesia and also Bahasa Malaysia...cool to see a shop in faraway Charleston adopts this name...Greetings from Sarawak, Malaysia
“Textiles are a woman’s story, they’re the women’s texts.” I would’ve loved this just based on Susan’s impeccable style and taste but her vision and passion. She is amazing, beauty, brains & heart! I had goosebumps the entire time, so moved! And then Ali and her gorgeousness and talent, LOVE the colors and patterns! And no surprise Carolyne Roehm is modeling in the show, in the stunning ensemble she wore in another video I saw (and lusted over). Charleston must be one of the happiest places on Earth!!!
Wow...how wonderful. I am Indonesian , so i am so proud that you took IBU as your brand name. Your ideas and creations are so magnificent. Women will be elegant and proud by wearing IBU. Wish you the best and success. My best regards for you and ibu Ali M
Andrini Kusumawardhani IBU is such a great concept and company and I’m sure Susan and her team would be especially thrilled that you enjoyed learning about their mission and products!
Mine too, I love it all! And this video was so colourful and playful uplifting! Thank you yet again for sprinkling some fairy dust into our everyday life's, and allow us to dream away and get inspiration
Wonderful, colourful and uplifting episode! That gave me inspiration to collect fabric on my travels. And oh my goodness and that orange, blue and black skirt at the end!
I love love love your videos, but this one is so special...thank you for giving this mission a wider audience..... the degree of respect for culture, craft and generosity is an inspiration. If only we could bottle this......
Ali is indeed the right person for this because she has that exotic beauty essence about her and my goodness she is still gorgeous. When women get older their beauty becomes magical.
Ibu means mother in Indonesian language. Indonesia has a lot of traditional handwoven fabrics from its western to the most eastern part. The women for ages have been responsible to weave fabrics. One of the reasons is because the operating mechanism of traditional equipments they use may harm the reproduction system of the men for the long run
@@jolenehedstrom8221 They founded this company to help local women use their traditional skills to earn money. Yes, it is a business and it needs to make money to be viable but it is a social enterprise - a lot of the profits go back into investing locally. May be you should stop being an armchair critic and do something similar yourself.
I just discovered you a few days ago. I admire how you reply to even older videos. It shows you care. It really is an educational video each and every time. I can’t thank you enough for this channel. Btw, I see Susanna having fun. Does Stacey get to have fun too? Lol grunt work never gets the glamour, or do they?
Firstly - so glad you have found our channel! And yes, I have fun - it is indeed a lot of work behind the scenes (and I appreciate your noting that) but it is always a pleasure to visit these amazing homes! - Stacey (Quintessence)
OMG its not every day that you can look at a rich person's house and say.. well I can do that in my own... this house is amazing! and I wish we could see the whole house on a normal day... I can definitely live in this one anyway!
I think this is wonderful. I just wonder how this type of inspirations isn't taken serious here in the U.S.? We have people in the area of the Four Corners who don't even have running water or electric💫
What an incredible point to link women and textiles

hai...salam dari malaysia
Hermosa la Sra Ali.y sus ptendas de vestir. MUY BONITAS COLORES COMBINACIONES
I love the IBU clothing! Ali is beautiful !
Cheryl Stachowski We do too and yes she is!!
Fashion empowering & enriching women in third world countries instead of exploiting them. Fantastic.
Exactly - such a fantastic company and cause!!
Great point.
How do we know they're not being exploited? Someone is making a ton of money here and I'm sure it is not the women doing all the handwork!!

Often when I see 3 settings for lunch or tea when it is only Susanna and her subject on video. I'd like to think the third is for Stacey.
Beautiful and Ali !
So in love with this channel ❤️
Thank you so much Monique!!
Beautifulllll... ibu in Bahasa Indonesia is mother...
Talento, único, trabalho maravilhoso, amei
I am inspired. I live in Santa Fe County in the beautiful Manzano Mountains.
Rebecca Treeseed Happy to hear that!!
Susana you look great in your Moroccan Jabador🇲🇦🇲🇦😍😍😍
Her house has more Indian textiles than mine and I’m from India. Pretty collection she’s got.
She is really inspiring
It's a great thing you are doing, keep it up.
Ibu ( e-boo) is the Indonesian name for mother. Short version “bu” (boo) when addressing women of childbearing age. Sweet word.
Beautiful clothing!
It is indeed!
I love this!!
Very beautiful house.👏👏
Nicely done!
in indonesia, ibu means mother
Beautiful clothing, I would wear every single item
And we both love and wear IBU!
This was great. Thanks

Ali Mc Graw from "Lovestory"!
