Levi Strauss came to the United States from Bavaria as teenager. After spending several years in New York, he made a journey to California when the gold rush was at its peak. He got the idea to sell tents to the gold miners, but they were not interested. He recycled the brown canvas cloth int sturdy pants which became a great demand in mining camps. Later he began making work pants in the blue cotton fabric imported from France, called "Serge de Nimes", known in America as "Denim".
Along with Jacob Davis, a tailor from Nevada, Strauss patented a pattern of copper rivets to strengthen the stress point on pants, especially the pocket. They first became known as waist overalls, then "Levis". They became so popular that Strauss concentrated most of his effort on the manufacture and sales of the durable work pants.

Dear Tom,
I want to inform you that after February 7, the ‘Narmada boutique’ will become ‘T&R boutique’. When we moved from Narmada to our new location in Senggigi resort in 2008, I decided to keep the old name. That was the name my mother gave the boutique when she opened it in 2006. As we are now in Senggigi resort, too many of my customers found that confusing, so I’ve decided to change it.
We’ll still be at the same location, the same address, in Senggigi resort. We’ll still feature the same great collections of garments and accessories. We’ll still depend on you to provide us with the latest models of fashion in Garment industry. The only thing that will change, really, is the name of our checks.
Kind Regards,
Tya Riadi
