Batik is not about a piece of clothes, because there are so many kind of Batik in Indonesia, and every province has its own Batik characteristics, like Madura, the dominant color is red, if I am not mistaken. Batik now is more fashionable and modern as well. You can wear it in any occasion, formal, casual etc. We love Batik!!

Batik as an art is also commonly seen here in the Philippines and we believe that it is from Indonesia. I think it is one of Indonesia's legacy to the world. Nice piece of art. enjoy!

Batik are designed cloth that you can use as bedsheets, blanket and can even be used as dress. I love Indonesian Batik and i have a collection of batik. I used to buy one every time I go to Mindanao and when i had the chance to go to Thailand and Malaysia. Some were gifts from my friends. My collection is of different colors and sizes.

I think Batik is our original tradisional art. Each of place in indonesia especially on java have many designs that makes a difference. A hundred years ago batik's design describe a caste. Some design only used by nobleman or lord.
