BATIK
Batik is a delicate art, which requires patience and skills. It means 'Printing Out With Wax'. Batik Malaysia is different from the Indonesian or Thai batik in design and motif, especially handprint method. Producing batik is a unique process of wax blocking, then dyeing, drying and boiling of clothing materials through a repetitive process, done by hand, it demands skilled craftsmanship and constant quality control. "NO TWO PIECES ARE EXACTLY ALIKE"!
