“We like to bring the legacy of Madam Leonor to the next level. Their products are well-accepted in Indonesia,” says Susilo in an interview. For Modequillo, their partnership with PT. Amosys is a good avenue to expand their market and let their products be known to the other parts of the world as well. “We choose PT.

We believe that this partnership is a better opportunity for RDL to explore and penetrate the whole Indonesia and in the world, hopefully,” Modequillo said.
