Malaysian Batik
The Beauty of Uniqueness

FIND MALAYSIAN BATIK FOR SALE

Batik, the method of dyeing wax-resistant cloth, originated in parts of Indonesia but is widely practiced and popular in Malaysia. Malaysian batik is known for its depictions of plants. It’s lushly colorful, with highly evocative and impressionistic patterns of leaves and stems. Birds and butterflies also appear on Malaysian batik, and some artists do landscape-type work on their batik.

Malaysian batik has become important as a mode of dress in Malaysia. Although most of the population tends to wear either traditional (Indian or Muslim) clothing or typical Western fashions (jeans and t-shirts), batik clothing can be worn at more formal or celebratory occasions. Although batik originated elsewhere, its Malaysian form is quite revered and respected in its home country, and beloved by people all over the world for its beauty and even whimsy.

Malaysian Batik as Decoration

In addition to its use in sarongs and other clothing, batik can be used purely as decorative art. Many shops in Malaysia create lovely, original pieces of batik on cloth that is then framed and sold as wall art. With their wonderful swirls of color and varied color schemes, it is possible to find just the exact one that fits the room or space you are decorating.
