Batik Sarongs

When walking through a market in Indonesia a gorgeous fabric is bound to catch your eye. This fabric will undoubtedly be the traditional batik sarong. It is recognized by its unique smell, pattern, and color. Batik can been seen as early as 5th Century BC when it was used in Egypt to wrap mummies. The practice traveled, and soon batik sarongs and other batik fabrics were seen in China. A different pattern adorned the batik depending on the family wearing the batik sarong, a person’s status in society, and their location. Batik designs changed for every occasion and some designs belonged solely to royalty. Batik sarongs are made from a wax resistant dying method. This traditional practice has been taught throughout generations and now NOVICA’s artisans have brought this traditional practice to you in their women's batik sarong collection. The many unique colors and patterns make it impossible to say no to one of NOVICA’s spectacular batik saraongs for women. These sarongs will look gorgeous with one of our knit tops!
