Materials & Craft

CRAFT & MAKING

Batik Painters →

  • Created in South Yogyakarta using batik tulis, the oldest Indonesian wax-resist technique, where patterns are drawn entirely by hand with a canting and built through layered waxing and dyeing
  • Each garment is produced individually, resulting in unique markings, crackle, and dye lines that reflect the handmade process while maintaining consistent quality and wearability

FABRIC & FIBRE

COLOUR & NATURAL DYEING

  • This piece is naturally dyed using Mud, Indigofera Tinctoria and skin of Beleric fruit
  • These plant-based dyes create soft, muted tones that reflect nature rather than uniform colour
  • Due to the hand-dyeing process and seasonal factors such as sun, rainfall, and water minerals, colour variation is expected and celebrated — each piece is one of a kind. Learn more about our natural dyes →

Care Instructions
  • Cold, hand wash using mild detergent e.g wool/baby detergent (avoid citrus-based products)
  • for convenience: gentle cold machine wash
  • Do not rub or wring. Air dry flat or hang in shade
  • Warm iron if desired
  • No dry cleaning is neccesary – harsh chemicals may damage natural fibers, dyes, and the environment


Our plant-based natural dyes are colorfast. However, no dyeing chemicals means small color runs / slight fading may appear where the natural mordant has not taken to the fabric. Refer to our care for more info.

Styling Notes

Our Batik kimonos are intended as effortless layering pieces. Wear open over simple separates to let the hand-painted motifs stand out, or belt lightly for a more defined silhouette.

Their fluid drape and lightweight cotton make them suitable for both at-home wear and considered outings.
