Please also take a look at other patterns. #HiroHiroRae #IndonesianBatik As shown in the image, there is some slight white discoloration at the base of the handle. I think it's only noticeable in the overall image, but I'll consider it as a defective item. A batik print tote bag that I encountered in Solo, the ancient city of Java, Indonesia. The ethnic patterns and natural colors will make you feel like you're traveling just by carrying it. Perfect for everyday use, as well as a sub-bag for your travels. The more you use it, the more the texture will improve, and it will grow into a bag that is uniquely yours. For those of you who love ethnic styles, a one-of-a-kind encounter. Size: Approximately 21cm (height) x 30cm (width) x 7.5cm (depth) (excluding the handle) *Please note that there may be some imperfections in the sewing, which is typical of Asian products. What is Batik? Batik is a traditional Indonesian dyeing technique, and the fabric itself made with this technique is also referred to as batik. Batik is made using a technique called "wax-resist dyeing," which involves drawing patterns on the fabric with melted wax to prevent the dye from penetrating those areas, creating complex and beautiful patterns. Among the various regions of Indonesia, the most famous centers of batik are Surakarta (commonly known as Solo) and Yogyakarta in Central Java. Solo batik is known for its delicate and elegant designs and subdued colors, and its style is influenced by the royal culture rooted in this region. Generally, batik is mainly classified into the following two types: Hand-drawn batik (Batik Tulis): Batik where artisans draw patterns by hand Stamped batik (Batik Cap or Batik Print): Batik made with stamps (molds) or machine printing Nowadays, thanks to printed batik, it has become easier to incorporate the beautiful patterns of batik into everyday life at a more affordable price. In 2009, Indonesian batik culture was recognized by UNESCO as an "Intangible Cultural Heritage," and its artistic and historical value was internationally recognized.
