A Case For Bags and Crafts Made Using Newly Made Batik

1.

They can potentially support the batik industry.

2.

Newly made batik are done only on one side of the cloth. So the gluing and the disappearing forever of the other side isn't a waste of labour, love, material, time, and art.

3.

Modern batik dyes are usually bright and cheerful, with natural dyes coming out in soft pastel colours, which have a very different feel to vintage bright coloured dyes. While newly made batik with more traditional colours of browns and blues are as beautiful and as good as vintage ones.

4.

Newly made batik can be made to order according to your personal specifications.

5.

Newly made batik tulis (not machine printed ones) are as unique as vintage batik tulis, as far as material for bags are concerned, but without the destructive effects to history, heritage, and crafts.
