A Rare Handcrafted Textile from the Heart of Java
This striking 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 deep, saturated blues of this sarong bring a sense of calm and sophistication to any application. Wear it as a resort wrap or cover-up, display it as a textile wall hanging, use it as a dramatic quilt backing, or incorporate it into fiber art and mixed-media projects. Its abstract energy makes it as much a piece of art as it is a fabric.
Because each sarong is individually hand drawn, slight variations in color and pattern are part of its handmade beauty and authenticity.
