The history of our batik fabrics from Malaysia

Against the backdrop of the cultural and historical context of Malaysia, they have much less opportunity to earn money, support their families and strengthen their own independence.
The brightly colored cotton fabrics are handcrafted using a complex dyeing process in which each color is applied to the fabrics individually and with color-fast wax.
