What are Indonesian Batiks?
Batiks are traditional cloths that originate from different parts of Indonesia. A craftperson creates intricate designs by tracing the cloth with wax, then uses wax-resistant dyes to add colours. Depending on the region, batik patterns may include traditional colours or vibrant ones featuring flower bouquets, phoenixes or cherry blossoms.
About Charlee and Bruce
We share a mutual admiration for the art of Indonesian textiles. Searching for batiks is a very special way to interact and forge relationships with people we would not normally meet on the main tourist circuit
Our mission is to find and share batik cloth, tablecloths and other batik products that we feel will be interesting and attractive to Canadians.
