A Rare Handcrafted Textile from the Heart of Java
This dramatic, statement-making sarong is the work of master batik artisans at the Pandono Abstract workshop in Surakarta (Solo), Indonesia — one of the world’s most celebrated centers of traditional batik craft. Each piece is individually hand drawn using the tulis technique, in which hot wax is applied by hand with a fine copper pen (canting) before dyeing, making every sarong a completely unique work of textile art.

Endless Possibilities
The striking contrast of the black ground and delicate feather work gives this sarong a sophisticated, editorial quality unlike any other. Wear it as a dramatic resort wrap or evening cover-up, display it as a textile wall piece with gallery-worthy presence, use it as a show-stopping quilt backing, or let it anchor a fiber art or fashion design project. For collectors and makers who appreciate bold, one-of-a-kind textiles, this is an exceptional find.
Because each sarong is individually hand drawn, slight variations in color and pattern are part of its handmade beauty and authenticity.
