Preserving a dyeing art


Kan: We want to see batik embraced by everyone and incorporated into their daily lives.

FOR the last decade, batik has enjoyed a quiet revival, spurred on by emerging brands and designers bringing fresh, modern interpretations of the traditional textile.

No longer confined to formulaic pieces only dusted off for formal and corporate events, batik fashion today exists in a variety of youthful, innovative styles, from cropped blouses and day dresses to bucket hats and handbags.
