On August 11th, 2025, Indonesian lifestyle and fashion media giant Fimela.com released an article titled “Known for rarely buying branded goods, Cinta Laura appears chic in Surabaya with a local rattan bag priced at IDR 900,000.” Long Story Short is deeply honored to be featured, gaining recognition not only from a leading publication but also from an influential figure like Cinta Laura.
In her Instagram post highlighting her recent activities in Surabaya, Cinta Laura was spotted carrying Long Story Short’s Margie Bag in the Barbie Pink shade. The Margie Bag is one of our best-selling designs and has become our signature piece since its debut collection. Handcrafted by our skilled local artisans, it is meticulously structured for everyday use while maintaining a versatile and modern appeal. The pastel color range, including Barbie Pink, was designed to resonate with contemporary tastes while staying true to the artistry of Indonesian craftsmanship.
As a celebrated actress, singer, and advocate for education and women’s empowerment, Cinta Laura embodies confidence and cultural pride. Her choice to style herself with a local brand not only elevates the Margie Bag’s visibility but also sets an example of how Indonesian fashion can stand shoulder to shoulder with global trends.
The Fimela.com feature further highlights this movement, celebrating how celebrities are embracing locally made products over international luxury labels. The article specifically spotlights the Margie Bag collection, reinforcing its place in today’s style conversation.
