BATIK IS longstanding technique which entails detailed wax-resist illustration and colour dye saturation, such as the hand-drawn Batik Tulis and Block-printed Batik. Nonetheless, the designs are derived from free-flowing inspirations of any period, especially the current times. Aseana Batik is the epitome of this philosophy and haven to such batik.
KEEPING ABREAST WITH THE TIMES, each design is spawned from motifs and styles ranging from abstract to the modern wearer. Experimentation on different fabrics and colour compositions elevate batik to new levels of elegance and creative ingenuity. Designs gradually alternate between areas of complicated patterning and spaces of looser motifs.
