Mitos atau kearifan lokal? Berdasar filosofi Jawa, hari Selasa dan Sabtu adalah hari “pamali”, jika melakukan aktifitas yang tidak diperbolehkan akan berulah karma. “Pindah rumah tidak boleh Selasa dan Sabtu, aktifitas perdagangan ramai pun tidak disarankan.

 Di Jakarta ada Pasar Senen sampai Pasar Minggu. Tapi tidak ada yang namanya Pasar Selasa dan Sabtu. "Pasar Senen, Pasar Rebo, Pasar Kemis di Jatinegara, Pasar Jumat itu tempatnya penjual barang bekas atau loak dekat Cililitan, dan Pasar Minggu terletak di daerah Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan.

Hal itu pun dibahas oleh Arkeolog Universitas Indonesia, Candrian Attahiyyat dalam diskusi Pameran Toponomi 'Wall of Frame' Sejarah Betawi di Gedung NAS, Pasar Seni Ancol, Jakarta, Minggu, 1 Juli 2018 yang lalu.

Diungkapkan oleh Candrian, alasannya ternyata lekat dengan kepercayaan orang zaman dulu dan kearifan lokalnya. Orang dulu percaya, kalau kedua hari itu kurang bagus untuk kegiatan ramai. Apapun itu, hingga kini, hanya terdapat 5 harian pasar di Jakarta.

Mengawali Miumosa, beragam cibiran dan sentimen negatif menggerus keteguhan hati. Bagaimana tidak, menggarap pasar niche itu menjadi momok yang nampak menakutkan, tidak populer, membutuhkan investasi yang tidak sedikit, dianggap tidak menguntungkan dalam keberlangsungan usaha, terutama, bagi seorang start up mandiri.  

Jika tidak karena Miumosa itu adalah bentuk nyata inner vision saya dan keyakinan bahwa Miumosa akan menjadi luar biasa di masa yang akan datang, maka mustahil bagi Miumosa tetap bertahan, tumbuh dan terus melakukan inovasi di segala lini divisi usaha.

Hingga suatu ketika, saya bertemu dengan sosok-sosok imaginatif, kreatif dan inspiratif dengan hasil-hasil karya yang otentik dan extra-ordinary, namun berhenti seketika di tengah jalan. Entah karena miss-management, running of capital atau kurang tepat memformulasikan brand nya, membuat rekan-rekan ini kurang mendapatkan ekspektasi yang diharapkan.

Maka tercetuslah ide untuk menjembatani brand-brand start up ini untuk bersatu, berkolaborasi dan bersinergi. Saling menguatkan, memberikan dukungan moriil dan materiil, dan menciptakan peluang usaha yang prospektif. Miumosa memfasilitasi layanan sebagai art-fashion multimedia content provider. Mulai dari brand campaign for Niche Market Goods, mengemas produksi kreatif seperti Photo dan Video Shoot, Iklan komersial, Film-making, Documentary Video, hingga yang sifatnya digital contents.

My eyes seek for Perfections! Pertemuan dengan sosok Ethnicpreneur yang lekat sebagai Bapaknya Kampanye Budaya Kaltim, Anas Maghfur, seraya membuka pintu untuk berkolaborasi. Melalui brand kesohornya AEMTOBE yang fokus mengangkat kearifan lokal Indonesia melalui kain tenun nusantara dengan motif yang tidak biasa, Tabba Malebbi dan Balo Sikko Laa turut memberi nafas dalam koleksi sepatu wanita Miumosa the Heels, yang akan datang.

“Fashion is about change- and I like Change. I do it like I breathe”, as Karl Lagerfeld's wisdom that remains.
