Batik Boutique

Blends traditional Malaysian batik techniques with contemporary design. Their flagship studio in Kuala Lumpur houses over 5,000 hand carved wooden blocks, each used to stamp intricate wax resist patterns onto textiles. Products range from scarves and dresses to upholstery fabrics sold wholesale to interior designers. The company employs artisans from rural Johor communities, providing stable incomes and apprenticeships in dyeing, drawing, and block carving.
Operations begin in their dye lab, where fabrics undergo multiple stages of waxing and dye baths using AZO free dyes. After patterning, textiles are boiled to remove wax and then sun dried on rooftop racks. Batik Boutique also runs corporate workshops and virtual masterclasses, teaching batik history and techniques to global audiences. Their showroom in Mont Kiara features rotating installations that showcase collaborations with fashion designers, emphasizing the versatility of batik in modern wardrobes.
