  • Nakhoda is the captain of a ship. This beautiful word in the Malay language is still used today to describe seafaring folks in the Malay archipelago. Featuring the Ceplok motif, depicting the destiny of a person resting on his/her honest work. 

    Our take on Nakhoda is in how we steer our lives in the direction of becoming: Unafraid, with deep faith and courage. 

    The poet blouse is a charming batik shirt in a relaxed fit and just the right amount of balloon sleeves, that come with an adjustable elastic cuff to wear long or above the elbow. The stand collar keeps the look polished and versatile.

  • Hand stamped batik made by a family of artisans in Pekalongan, Coastal Java. Hand wash on cold to retain its colours and beauty.

    - 100% medium-weight cotton
    - Mother of pearl buttons

    Slight differences in pattern placement is expected as textile is handmade. However this is what makes each piece unique
