Traditional Javanese Batik

This cloth comes from Solo, a town in Central Java, famous for its traditional batik.

The cloth is first waxed using a copper stamp called a cap. These stamps are hand-made and are works of art in themselves. The cotton is dyed with an indigo blue dye, rewaxed, and then dyed in soga brown - the traditional colours of Javanese batik. Finally the wax is all boiled out leaving the design.

The designs are all different so these are a sample from our current stock. The fabrics come in lengths of two metres each. They all match for colour but you will not be able to get more than 2 metres of each design.
