Meet Batik

Dear reader and blogger friends,

Meet Batik! right on this day we are Indonesian, celebrating Batik’s day! second of October on 2009 UNESCO gave this (Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity) for Batik.

we used to think that Batik only could be worn on a formal events or in Indonesian important days, and looked strange if we wore it in daily, moreover just to hang out. but now we can wear it whatever the events come up.

If you are my friends, it’s getting here, don’t forget to get it for souvenir 🙂

Batik was only in these colors between black, brown and it looked monotone in its patterns.

  2. Wow! I am a huge fan of Batik. It is worn widely in India and not just on special occasions. However, Indonesia seems to have so many more and different patterns 🙂

  8. Beautiful patterns and a beautiful being behind the veil 😉 good that you know to use your freedom and play with it. But the most important thing in the world is a free heart.  “The heavens and the earth cannot contain Me, but the heart of a true believer can” (Hadith Qudsi).

  12. Hi! You’re a very talented artist! The fabrics are beautiful, and I even like the darker ones, as well. I really like the last photo and the way the skirt looks!

    • Thanks a lot Randyjw! Probably when you visit my country you won’t be confused to have what’s special from my country to keep and for souvenir to be brought home 🙂

      • What the difficulty would be is in limiting the items to take home! Indonesia has such wonderful craftsmen and artists, it would be very difficult to choose only a few items! I also love the woodcarving; I’d love to be able to create those kinds of work, myself!

  13. Great post. I love culture and I believe my son may be visiting your country this summer.

  15. So beautiful! We were in Malaysia for about two months this year and it was so hard not to buying loads and loads of batik (no space in my backpack!). I managed to limit myself to one piece, I think I’ll make a top with it! Love your pictures!

  17. Absolutely beautiful. Love the pattern on your full pic. That dress is so pretty! And you look so feminine. That patchwork one is perfect with the little cardigan you are wearing!
    We don’t really have that here, but I’ve seen Indian women where it. I however think you wear it best, especially with those cute shoes! 😊

  21. Very nice post, thanks for sharing 🙂 May I ask you one question? I saw in your other posts that men wear Batik too. Is there any particular pattern or colour for men?

    • Thankyou so much for following and visiting my blog, oh yez of course men wear batik too but usually in black or brown, but for now is up to them what colors they want to applicate to their batik 🙂

      • Oh that’s great 🙂 May I ask how much is the average price for a Batik dress (or suit)? I guess it depends on many factors such as material, designer, etc., right?

      • Yez it depends the fabric, quality and the model of the batik itself, the nice one mostly cost 200 thousand (in rupiah) started from that

      • Many thanks for your responses. I will definitely get one when I visit Indonesia. I was fascinated by the beautiful patterns since the first time I saw it in a boutique in France 🙂

      • You’re welcome! Wow so glad you like batik too 🙂 and to know that batik almost all over the world, thankyou so much for letting me know
