The traditional patterns of the Javanese region adorn a myriad of textiles, showing the natural elegance of Indonesia. Inspired by these forms and colours that create unique motifs, artisan Fatchurohman creates this convenient journal whose cover combines brown, black and blue hues to create a unique Batik pattern. The accessory also comes with ninety recycled paper pages for an eco-friendly touch, and an elastic cord allows you to keep the item close and secure.
