$65 · Vintage Indonesian Primissima Batik Sarong #15

Vintage Indonesian Primissima Batik Sarong This is a rare piece of batik art. It is in used condition and has an amazing patina, a super soft buttery feel. It is a very fine quality 100% Primissima cotton, which is the highest quality cotton used in batik production. Because these designs are all hand drawn or stamped, there may be stray spots of dye in a few places. There is also some normal wear to these vintage fabrics. The hand painted/stamped wax resist dye process is less common and is a prized art form. Batik is made by drawing/stamping a design with hot wax on a cloth and then submerging the cloth into dye. Wax is then left on and added to, or removed and a new design may be drawn before submerging the cloth again. This process is repeated numerous times until the desired colours, hues and designs are achieved.
