How can we help?

FAQ

Product

Customisation

Customisation is full at the moment. We will open new customisation slots in March 2024.

Do note that we are unable to accept customisation orders using fabric of your own.

Do you sell batik fabric only?

No, we don't sell our fabric individually. The batik fabric selection is meant exclusively for customisation.

I found some coloured stains on the items. Are those defects?

Our fabric and clothing are all handmade. Occassionally wax residue from the batik making process can be found on the fabric (read here to find out). But fret not! These little brown spots can be gently scrubbed off and removed after wash.

Red, yellow or blue markings may sometimes be found on the pieces. These are markings from the tailor's chalk which can be removed after wash.

My item looks smudged. Are those defects?

No, they are not. The effect on batik prints are part and parcel of handmade batik fabric where during the batik making process, parts of the wax may have run across the motifs. Hence, during the dyeing process, the dye runs across as well.

Find out more here on how we make our fabric! Traditional handmade batik craft is all about beauty is in its imperfection. Unlike digitally printed patterns, the colours and patterns for handmade batik won't be as crisp, sharp, and clean.

How do I care for my batik?

You may refer to our batik care tips for more information.

Can I reserve an item?

Reservations are not allowed. We use a shared inventory for both our online and offline store. To avoid any disruption to the system, we do not take any form of reservations.

Do you restock sold out items?

If an item or size is listed as sold out, it is unavailable for purchase both online and offline at our studio. You can drop us an email to check for restock possibilities. 

However, due to the limited availability of handmade batik, most times, our sold out items will not be back again.
