traditional bali shawls

Bali shawls are traditionally made from woven cloth or batik. The local community use these shawls as a sash worn around their waist when praying. These can be worn when performing the offerings around the house, as well as when visiting the temple. These sashes are often red or yellow in color.

Balinese mothers and grandmothers use the traditional shawls to create a sling for carrying their babies. These shawls are made of cotton, so are soft and comfortable for the baby. The shawl is tied over one shoulder and the baby is placed in the cradle like shape created. The mother can then continue with her daily chores with both hands free while the baby sleeps.

indonesian fabric: batik

One of the most well known techniques that has been developed in Indonesia is the art of batik making. Indonesian batik is created by applying wax to finely woven cotton cloth. The molten wax is applied by hand, using traditional tools, creating a design.

The Indonesian fabric is then dyed, and the areas that have the wax are protected from the dye. The dying process is repeated until the colors are complete. The wax is then scraped or boiled off.

Fine designs are created using a pen like instrument, whereas larger prints can be made using a stamp. The most refined batik fabric has the wax design on both front and back of the material. There are many imitation batiks on the market, so this is the way of checking to see that you are purchasing a genuine article.

Batik is made all over Indonesia, but the most famous batik comes from Yogyakarta, and there are many workshops open to visitors for you to learn more about this ancient art, and even try your hand at it!

Sarongs on display

indonesian ikat

Another type of Indonesian fabric is the ikat. This is a very distinctive type of cloth, that is created by dyeing patterns on the thread before they are attached to a loom to be woven. This takes a great deal of careful measurement to create the desired pattern.

There is a small village in Bali that specializes in this type of Indonesian fabric. You can visit this village and watch the weavers at work. Large hand made looms take pride of place in the homes, and the women spend hours patiently weaving. Some cloths can take months to make.

This style of fabric is reversible as the designs are equally visible on both sides of the cloth. The thread used can be made of cotton or silk, and is mostly brightly colored, to create very striking patterns.

The ikat style of fabric is used to make sarongs that are worn to the temple, on special occasion. They also make beautiful wall hangings.

This style of fabric is mostly associated with the island of Sumatra, and there are hundreds of different patterns available. It is made using a wooden or bamboo frame.

One piece of cloth can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months to create. The end product is a beautiful work of art. However, this cloth is not practical to be used for clothing, and is mostly reserved for ceremonial and display purposes.

As Indian traders started to come to Bali, they brought with them fabrics that were faster to produce, and are now widely available. Rows of shops selling silk, rayon, cottons and lace can be found in Denpasar and are very popular with anyone in the textile industry.

silk textiles

Silk is a natural fiber, obtained from the cocoons of silk worms. The structure of the fiber allows the fabric to detract light at different angles. This means the fabric appears to change color as the person wearing it moves around.

Silk is a very lightweight Bali textile that is incredibly comfortable to wear. It is also kind to the skin, reducing dryness and irritation. Due to these properties, silk is a very popular textile to use for under garments. It is also often used to make shirts, ties, blouses and dresses. It is one of the more expensive fabrics, but it truly does make you feel like a million dollars when you wear it.

Bali Wholesale Fabricrayon textiles

If you are looking for a less expensive version of silk, rayon is the answer. This textile is composed of cellulose, which is obtained from cotton, or the pulp of trees. Rayon has been used in the Bali textile industry for years, and is often referred to as artificial silk.

Rayon is a cool, comfortable, easy care natural fabric. It is not as fragile as silk, but still, it is advised to be washed in cold water. It is loose and flowing so flattering for all body types. Dresses, skirts, and shirts all look great made out of this very versatile fabric. It is a great fabric to use when travelling as it always looks great, and does not hold creases.

cotton textiles

Cotton is another natural Bali textile. It is a very popular fabric to use in the hot climate. The reason for this is that it keeps you cool. It is hypoallergenic, so it is great for people with sensitive skin. In Bali you can find clothes made with 100% cotton, as well ones made with cotton blend. The beauty of the cotton blend is that is does not crease as much as the 100% cotton.

Cotton is used to make T shirts, dresses, and shirts. It is also the most common fabric used for the making of beach sarongs. The durability and the fact that it absorbs moisture make it a great choice for wearing to the beach. The cotton sarong makes a great alternative to a towel as it is lightweight and easy to carry.

The word batik means “wax writing”, and is a technique of creating patterns on fabric, using wax. It has been part of Indonesian culture for centuries. The early batik styles were worn by Indonesian royalty and families of wealth, and the royal women enjoyed spending their time creating different styles.

Batik Indonesia was originally used to make traditional sarongs. These consisted of a piece of cloth, wrapped around the body. This simple piece of clothing was worn by the Indonesian people in various forms for hundreds of years.

Each island in Indonesia has its own style of batik, from simple earth tone designs, to more elaborate ones incorporating golden threads. These sarongs are still worn to this day, as casual wear as well as formal temple and mosque attire.

As more modern styles of clothing were introduced, the batik Indonesia cloth started to be used to create more western styles of clothing, from shirts, to dresses and shawls.

Product Sample

how batik indonesia is made

Batik making is an art form, that requires great skill and patience. It also requires sunshine, in order to dry the material evenly. The process begins by taking a plain piece of cloth, and drawing a pattern on it for the wax to follow. Melted wax, made from a mixture of paraffin, bees wax and plant resin, is then applied on to the pattern. This is done with a variety of different tools, from stiff brushes to stamping tools.

The fabric, with the wax pattern, is then dyed and where the wax was applied, the fabric retains its original color. This process is repeated and finally the wax is removed by scraping or using boiling water, revealing a colorful, uniquely patterned fabric.

In traditional batik Indonesia in Bali, 3 colors are used. Indigo, dark brown and white, representing the 3 Hindu Gods (Brahma, Vishnu and Siva). The patterns used were also very specific and had very clear meaning.

batik patterns

The patterns used in batik Indonesia vary depending on which region they were produced. The colors and fabrics used also vary greatly. However, the dominant theme is based on the nature on the islands. The patterns are strongly influenced by the flowers and trees, as well as the birds and butterflies.

These patterns are repeated across the fabric, and sometimes on both front and back so garments can be worn both ways. This repeated pattern gives a wonderful flow to the fabric, and is a way of checking if it is true batik. There are many machine made versions around, so make sure you check it is the real deal.

batik clothing

Batik Indonesia can be used to make a variety of clothing. The Indonesian people wear batik shirts as a formal piece of clothing, when working in government offices. These are traditionally worn on Fridays, as a sign of patriotism. This style of shirt can be paired with a plain pair of trousers of a skirt, and looks very stylish.

Dresses can be found in all styles, and are often used to wear for formal occasions, or weddings. There are dresses made of plain colors, with just an accent of batik around the neckline. Or there are full flowing batik dresses. Long figure hugging ones, or short flowing ones. Anything you can find in other fabrics are now available in batik.

Many restaurants and spas use the batik Indonesia fabrics to create uniforms for the staff. This keeps with the traditional Indonesian style, combined with a practical style of clothing for working.

Batik scarves are also available in any color and length. These fashion accessories can be used to brighten up any outfit.

The traditional Indonesian Clothing for women consists of a Kebaya and Sarong. The Kebaya is a beautifully embroidered blouse, which is made to hug the figure in a very flattering way. This blouse is longer at the front, and sits very neatly over a sarong.

This style of Indonesian clothing is worn for formal occasions, such as temple ceremonies or weddings. The kebayas can be found in a wide range of styles, colors and patterns, and can be made of cotton, silk or lace. Most women will own several different styles.

The sarongs also come in a wide range of colors and materials, and are often color coordinated with the kebaya. If you are spending any amount of time in Indonesia, you will need to have at least one kebaya and sarong to wear to formal events.

The kebaya also looks great when combined with more western clothing, and fashion designers are using this traditional piece to create some very unique combinations, that are taking the cat walks by storm.

clothing for men

Indonesia clothing for men also includes the traditional sarong. There are certain styles that are worn around the house, and other, more ornate ones that are worn for the temple or mosque. The day to day sarongs are made in the sheath style, and usually with a brown checked pattern.

Men who work in offices generally wear shirts made with batik material. This was the first western style of clothing that was created and is still the preferred style for those working in the government offices. A batik shirt, paired with a plain pair of trousers looks very smart and formal.

Indonesia clothing worn by men to the temple or mosque consists of a sarong, worn with a jacket style shirt, and with the Muslim cap, or Hindu udung.

Cotton is the most common fabric used to make Indonesia clothing, as it is very lightweight and cool to wear in the warm climate. Natural earth tones are favored by the men, and the sarongs and batik shirts tend to be a mixture of brown and black.

Bali, Indonesia, Balinese woman applies wax on a piece of batik in Bali,Indonesia.Batik-making is an important part of Indonesian culture.

Batik originated from Java, where it is a very important part of the culture. The traditional batik from Java uses mostly earth tone colors. The majority being browns, mixed with black and white. This batik is used to make sarongs that are worn to the mosques, as well as smart shirts to be worn to the office.

When the Javanese people started to spread out in to Bali, they brought their batik styles with them. Over the years, the creative Balinese have adapted this traditional style, and created a more modern version. This Bali batik fabric is no longer only used for sarongs, but can now be utilized for making women’s dresses, men’s shirts and even children’s clothing.

patterns and colors in bali batik

Where the traditional batik used earth tone colors, the Bali batik uses much more vibrant tones. These are blended in to a smooth gradation of color with many shades. These resemble the tie dye look and process. The traditional Javanese batik uses a pen like instrument to draw the patterns in wax. Whereas the Bali version is created using wax stamps. The theory is still the same, the color of the fabric is maintained under the wax stamp when the fabric is dyed.

The patterns used in Bali batik still follow the traditional theme of nature, with leaves, flowers and birds being the most common motifs. However other patterns are starting to be used as this style is transformed from traditional to modern.

Batik has been part of Indonesian culture for centuries. It was developed in Java, by the ladies in the palace courts, to be used by royalty. Certain patterns were exclusive for nobility. Wider stripes or wavy lines showed the person’s royal lineage.

Originally, batik was used for the traditional sarong, a piece of cloth, that was wrapped around the body. This was the exclusive piece of clothing worn by Indonesians for hundreds of years. As more modern attire was introduced to Indonesia, so has batik been adapted to be used to make more than simply sarongs. Now shirts, dresses and shawls can be found using this traditional fabric.

how batik is made

Batik is made using a wax resistance process. Traditionally bees wax and tree resin is used. Lines and shapes are drawn on the fabric, using hot wax. This is a time consuming process, and requires great patience and skill. Once the wax pattern has been created, the fabric is then dyed. Where the wax was applied, the fabric retains its original color. This process is repeated and finally the wax is removed, revealing a colorful, uniquely patterned fabric.

Traditionally, 3 colors were used for batik. Indigo, dark brown and white, representing the 3 Hindu Gods (Brahma, Vishnu and Siva). The patterns used were also very specific and had very clear meaning. Today, batik is more fashion conscious, and uses a large array of colors, depending on the season. The patterns used have also evolved, and the designers have much more of a free hand in what they can create.

batik clothing patterns

The patterns used in batik clothing vary depending on which region they were produced. However, the overlying theme is a naturalistic one. The patterns are strongly inspired by flora. This can be seen in the leaves, flowers and swirly plant motifs. The other influence is fauna, which is evident in the bird motifs, such as peacocks and butterflies. These look particularly beautiful when used to create a flowing dress or skirt.

These patterns are repeated across the fabric, and sometimes on both front and back so garments can be worn both ways. This repeated pattern gives a wonderful flow to the fabric, and makes it fascinating to look at as the person wearing the garment moves around.

batik shirts

Shirts were the first non sarong clothing to be produced out of batik. The first batik shirts were made in the 1960’s, not long after Indonesian Independance, to be worn as a formal piece of clothing. These shirts were worn in government offices, as a sign of patriotism. To this day, offices in Indonesia encourage their staff to wear batik clothing every Friday.
Fashion designers have taken this traditionally somber piece of clothing, and have created a number of different versions for both men and women.

batik dresses and scarves

If you go to any spa in Bali, you will notice that the beautiful uniforms the staff are wearing are usually made of batik. These batik clothing costumes are very flattering and compliment the serene atmosphere in the spa. It is a common design to use for uniforms, but designers have taken it way beyond that.

These days, all kinds of very stylish dresses are available. There are dresses made of plain colors, with just an accent of batik around the neckline. Or there are full flowing batik dresses. Long figure hugging ones, or short flirty flowing ones. Anything you can find in other fabrics are now available in batik.

Batik scarves are also available in any color and length. These fashion accessories can be used to brighten up any outfit.
