  • Sanubari, meaning heartstrings, features the Sidoh Asih motif. Classically a symbol of eternal love, the vines in the batik represent continuity, while the wings of the Garuda are a mark of good tidings. The deep brown of this blouse is a signature colour achieved by our artisans, also a symbol of humility. 

    The button back blouse is an elegant design with a wide bateau neckline and buttons down the back. Cut from hand stamped batik on 100% cotton, it is lined with rayon for a smooth and luxurious feel on the skin. Lining is used to protect the precious batik, and helps the textile last.

    Back buttons will end just below the waistband and a detachable belt gives you options for styling. This is a versatile blouse that goes well with a variety of bottoms: denim, straight cut skirts and wide-legged pants.


  • This batik is made by the hand block stamping method in the small village of Kebon in Central Java. Known for their natural dyes, we are delighted to launch our first range of naturally dyed apparel together with these artisans.
