crafted by hand

Batik motifs add a tropical accent to this rayon shirt, crafted by the expert hands of Wayan Arta and Sharon from Bali. Choosing a palette of cinnabar and cerulean hues, the artisans embellish this dapper garment with a leafy pattern that honors the region's natural wealth. On top of that, the design comes with a collared neckline, short sleeves, coconut shell buttons at the front and a handy chest pocket.

Indonesia’s legendary hand-stamped batik art comes to life in this design by Saktut Raitawati. Her stylish pajama set features a comfortable V-neck short-sleeve top and elastic-waist pants crafted entirely from rayon. With a floral pattern in navy and amethyst hues going all around the design, the final touch is in the side pockets that allow handy use.

Using traditional batik methods, Bali artisan Desak Nyoman Parwati creates this pretty women's robe. The leafy patterns are created by hand-stamping on a tied-dyed background. In cool blues and greens, the long-sleeved wrap robe features a generous fit and a self-belt.

Haloed on a serene sea of Pacific blue, abstract motifs appear in the intricate tonalities of batik. Nyoman Nadri creates this graceful rayon robe with wide sleeves and a matching belt. In traditional kimono style, the robe features openings under the arms for adjusting the robe and for ease of movement.

Batik is a fabric art in which the cloth is stretched on a wooden frame and the design sketched with a pencil. Then a mixture of melted wax is painted by hand onto areas where color is not desired. When the fabric is crumpled into the dying solution, the wax cracks, creating an attractive network of fine lines. The wax is removed and the process is repeated for each color utilized. Finally, the cloth is washed and rinsed to remove any excess dye.

This hand-painted batik robe is a truly original work of art. Sunlight, water, dye and temperature all factor into the look of the finished garment. This should be considered a unique design made especially for you. Colors and pattern placement will vary.
