A classic Nusantara piece, this full length Batik Wiron Skirt is constructed with a partially elastic waistband, back zip and hook. It is fully lined.

There is an art and philosophy to the kain wiron, a defining Javanese garment. It tapers gracefully from hip to hem, creating an illusion of height. Besides artisanal technique, utmost patience is required to achieve the perfect vertical folds. The neat folds, which resemble a fan, hold both philosophical and sartorial sensibility in the same breath. It expands the wearer’s strides, prioritising comfort while respectfully maintaining her modesty.

Cultural exchange through marriage, trade and travel eventually brought the kain wiron to the rest of the Nusantara. 

The Batik Wiron Skirt is frequently kept as an heirloom piece, a treasure to have and to hold.
