Batik is a decorative technique for fabrics known as resist dyeing. 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 double boiler and then left to cool before dyeing.
The process can be repeated several times, reserving other areas and dyeing with progressively darker colors. For this reason, each sarong is a unique piece and can vary in color and intensity precisely due to its artisanal craftsmanship.
Furthermore, this cotton sarong with tribal patterns can also be used as a sarong, which is 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 sarong is made: the processing phases
1. Wax application
The artisan hand-draws the motifs on the fabric with hot wax, protecting the areas that should retain their original color.
2. Dye bath
The sarong is immersed in the dye: the color penetrates the parts not covered by wax, progressively 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 inspection
Once dry, the sarong is laid out, inspected, and hand-finished, checking for color uniformity, edges, and overall fabric quality.
