Embellishment is a technique of decorating the fabric’s surface that is usually applied to the product to make it look more attractive or beautify its fashion. Embellishment techniques are often used in embroidery and beading. The material used in this technique is usually just thread embroidery and uses various types of plastic beads, sequins, glass, and natural materials such as stones and shells. In the 15th century in Byzantium, art embroidery was something luxurious, so only certain people could afford it. In Indonesia, the beading technique is used as a decorative object in clothing that supports the interests of customs. Indonesia also has traditional woven fabrics and shadow puppets that are considered ancient because they have existed since the royal era. The woven fabric is Lurik Woven Fabric. Combining techniques of embroidery and beading on Lurik Woven Cloth by taking inspiration from Gunungan wayang kulit and using it as an embellishment on the product can provide a 3-dimensional effect and will present embellishment which is more modern and can be used in the long-term (sustainable). So, there is also novelty starting from traditional Indonesian fabrics and techniques of embellishment. In this research, we will develop more optimally regarding applying Lurik Woven Fabrics as the basis of the technique embroidery and then add technique beading as embellishment on the product fashion. This study uses qualitative methods, such as literature studies, interviews, field observations, and exploratory experiments. The results of this study were in the form of an exploration of technical experiments in embroidery and beading by adding Lurik Woven Fabric material to embellishment on the product fashion.
