Essential to preserve local hand-drawn batik heritage

PATTERNS of various motifs produced with the canting hand-drawn technique on high-quality fabrics such as natural silk makes Malaysian batik more charming and elegant than stamped batik from other countries.

The delicate manufacturing process (repeated waxing, dip-dyeing and boiling) with the application of liquid wax patterns of flora, fauna and abstract motifs then dyed with colour, makes Malaysian batik heritage more aesthetically stunning and permanently fresh.
