Through his brand called Ruang 12, Firdi participated in the Malang Fashion Week event at the Malang City DPRD building, Saturday (23/4/2022). Ferdi displayed various t-shirt models, all of which were about Malang.

Firdi Anto explained why his business was named Ruang 12. Because football supporters are identical to the 12th player. By being given their own space, it is hoped that supporters will be more creative in helping their favorite team.

"The designs of our supporter t-shirts are inspired by many places in Malang City, such as the City Hall Monument, Kampung Warna Warni, and football at Gajayana Stadium," explained Firdi.

Firdi admitted that he was grateful that his business could grow since it was pioneered in 2013. Initially, he only produced 10 t-shirts, but now it has reached hundreds of t-shirts per week. Although the products he makes are currently in high demand, Firdi said that his company still sells them at affordable prices.

"For T-shirts, they are sold at a price of Rp100-Rp120 thousand. Meanwhile, accessories are sold at a price of Rp50-Rp60 thousand," he said.

Apart from Malang City and Malang Raya, Firdi said, the supporter shirts he made also sold well in various regions in Indonesia. Even from Papua, requests have been made regularly.

"People from outside the area usually really like to be brought souvenirs from Malang, supporter t-shirts. That's what makes our business grow until now," said Firdi.

In addition to serving buyers online through marketplaces and social media, Firdi also serves buyers offline who are deposited in Kampung Warna Warni. (cah/ram)
