Made Ladri

Made Ladri was born December 31, 1959 as the second of three children. Since her father died and her mother remarried, little Ladri was taken care of by her grandmother. She couldn't finish her elementary school and worked as a housemaid for about seven years. In 1977, she decided to go back home and take a course in dressmaking. She eagerly rode a bicycle back and forth from the site of the course, some nine miles from her village. One month later, Ladri moved to a larger town. With the help of her friends, she took orders for dresses while she continued to learn about fashion.

Ladri married in 1980, and her business is flourishing. She has assistants to fashion her original designs and, together with her husband and four children, she opened a boutique in 1993. Her beautiful designs encompass dresses, pants, sarongs and much more.
