The Art of Batik Clothing and Fabric
Our batik clothing is made using traditional hand-dyed methods that have been passed down through generations. This wax-resist dyeing technique produces bold, one-of-a-kind patterns that celebrate cultural heritage while offering a modern, wearable style. Whether it’s a flowing dress, a soft top, or a vibrant scarf, each piece of batik clothing reflects the creativity of the artisan and the beauty of slow fashion.
Artisan Jewelry With A Story
Looking for something unique to complete your look? Explore our collection of artisan jewelry crafted from beads, glass, fabircs, and metals. From bracelets and earrings to necklaces and rings, each piece is carefully handmade and designed to reflect the culture of the artisan who created it. These accessories don’t just add sparkle - they carry meaning, history, and tradition.
Our Fair Trade Promise
At the heart of Unique Batik is a deep commitment to fair trade clothes, artisan products, and ethical partnerships. We are deeply committed to fair trade values and maintaining ethical business practices which enable artisans to earn a living while remaining in their home villages, close to their families and communities.
