Batik Day



Dress - Kuala Lumpur, Headband - Bangkok, Leggings - Shenzhen, Shoes - Shenzhen

A group of people who adore batik in Indonesia, started a social movement called Batik Day on October 2 to support Indonesia's National Heritage and National Batik Day. I was invited to participate in this social movement along with many other fashion bloggers. The lovely girls behind Batik Day sent me this beautiful batik scarf and iPad batik case.

Batik is a cloth that uses a manual wax-resist dyeing technique. It takes 5 years to learn the skills to draw on the white cloth to wax the lines to separate the sections of the drawing. I think it is great movement to protect and spread Indonesia's national heritage and I am delighted to be involved in it.

I received the batik scarf and iPad case today and styled it very simply with this black lace dress of mine. I love the print and a scarf is really versatile! I will try styling it in other ways like a men's tie and post up some photos soon! I used the iPad case as a clutch because I do not own an iPad.

Visit the Batik Day website to know more about this movement and participate in it :)
