Core Products: Hand-Drawn Batik.
South East Asia is famous for our batik. Designs are drawn on white fabric with hot liquid wax using a metal object called tjanting (pronounced "chanting"). Colorful dyes are then painted into the wax outlines. Then the fabric is boiled to remove the wax. This whole process is repeated depending on how complex the design is. That is why each piece of batik is unique. It's ART and you can wear it!
