LINEE cotton pareo with tribal patterns. The designs decorating the pareo are made with the batik technique. A typical and traditional workmanship for the ideal pareo for your summer. This is also a multipurpose accessory, adaptable and easily wearable.

Batik is a decorative technique for fabrics called reserve dyeing. The fabrics, preferably white and made of natural fibers of animal or vegetable origin (cotton and linen), are immersed in a dye bath after reserving (i.e., covering) the areas that should not be dyed, with wax melted in a bain-marie and then allowed to cool before dyeing.

The process can be repeated several times, reserving other areas and dyeing with progressively darker colors. For this reason, each pareo is unique and may vary in color and intensity precisely due to the artisanal workmanship.

Furthermore, this cotton pareo with tribal patterns can also be used as a sarong, a large piece of cotton draped around the waist and worn as a skirt by men and women in many parts of Asia.

The fabric is often dyed with bright natural colors, or worked with various geometries and patterns.

How an artisanal batik pareo is made: the processing phases

1. Wax application
The artisan hand-draws the motifs on the fabric with hot wax, protecting the areas that must retain their original color.

2. Dye bath
The pareo is immersed in the dye: the color penetrates the areas not covered by wax, gradually revealing the batik design.

3. Rinsing and drying
After dyeing, the fabric is rinsed and left to dry in natural light, revealing motifs, shades, and slight artisanal irregularities.

4. Final check
Once dry, the pareo is laid out, checked, and hand-finished, verifying color uniformity, edges, and overall fabric quality.

The images are illustrative representations of the main phases of batik processing.

Our fabrics are handcrafted from silk or cotton (as specified in the product description).

Each piece is unique and is colored and/or designed with artisanal procedures such as embroidery and hand stamps with hand-engraved stamps.

Thanks to these techniques, each fabric has small imperfections and color variations that make each piece unique and precious . The care and passion we put into the creation of each fabric is reflected in its beauty and quality , guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind artisanal product.

Hand coloring with natural colors requires an initial hand wash in cold water with vinegar or salt to fix the color. Afterwards, washing in the washing machine with similar colored clothes is fine.
