🧵 Batik vs. Ikat — do you know the difference?

Two of Indonesia’s most iconic textile arts, but totally different processes:

🌟 Batik — hot wax is hand-drawn onto woven cloth, then dyed. The wax resists the color, creating crisp, intricate patterns. Look for the subtle “cracking” — that’s the mark of authentic handwork.

🌟 Ikat — the yarn is tied and dyed before it’s ever woven. That’s why Ikat has that signature blurry, feathered edge, and the pattern looks the same on both sides.

Same island artistry, two totally different journeys from thread to cloth. 🇮🇩

One of our mission for Kasih Co-op is to provide economic advancement for Indonesian women. Thus why 88% of our partners are women owned. But beyond that education is the first step to create gender equality. And we are excited to share that we now are sponsoring 6 Indonesian children’s education through yayasanusahamulia .
