Bu_Jey Boutique was founded in 2018 by a boutique owner and fashion educator who is passionate about nurturing young talent in the field of fashion. More than just a fashion brand, Bu_Jey was created as a platform to connect education with the creative industry, providing opportunities for students and graduates with skills in garment design to grow and build professional careers.
Based in North Kalimantan, Indonesia, Bu_Jey embraces local talent and cultural heritage while maintaining high standards of craftsmanship and quality. Each piece reflects a commitment not only to elegant design, but also to community empowerment and sustainable growth where fashion becomes a meaningful expression of culture, opportunity, and purpose.
The name Bu_Jey holds a deeply personal meaning rooted in education, trust, and community. Founded by Zainab Huriyyatul Fikri, a fashion educator, the brand began as an initiative to support her students and alumni who possess strong skills in garment design but need opportunities to enter the professional fashion industry.
Derived from the affectionate nickname given by her students, Bu_Jey symbolizes the bond between teacher and learner built on respect, mentorship, and shared growth. Today, the brand carries these values forward, creating fashion that not only celebrates craftsmanship and culture but also empowers people and communities through opportunity and purpose.
