Superior Product Development Results Cultivation Ecoprint Based Silkworm

This research aims to develop superior products from silkworm cultivation in Sabbetta Village, Soppeng Regency. Descriptive and mixed methods approaches were used in the research methodology. Information was collected through field observations, in-depth discussions with silkworm producers, as well as secondary data analysis from related literature. The research results show that the development of a superior product from cultivating silkworms, namely sabbe sarongs, by farmers in Sabbeta Village lies in its design which combines traditional Bugis motifs with modern innovations such as the ecoprint technique, which uses natural dyes from local plants to create unique patterns and environmentally friendly. This product development was carried out by exploring the initial potential of the sabbe sarong and identifying what was lacking, namely in terms of motif durability and renewable motif design using the Ecoprint method. This research resulted in the development of superior products, namely traditional textiles that are sustainable, aesthetic and functional, meeting the demands of a modern market that increasingly cares about sustainability.
