Sarinah Batik stands as an icon of Indonesian heritage, representing more than just textiles—it is a national movement to preserve cultural identity through fabric. Established under the direction of Indonesia’s first president, Sukarno, Sarinah was envisioned as a space to celebrate local artisans, and batik has remained at its heart ever since.
The batik produced and curated by Sarinah reflects the soul of Indonesia’s diverse regions. What makes Sarinah Batik unique is its deep commitment to traditional craftsmanship combined with high-quality standards. From classic kawung and parang patterns to modern reinterpretations, Sarinah Batik captures the evolution of Indonesian art across generations.
Each piece is made using authentic techniques like batik tulis (hand-drawn) and batik cap (hand-stamped), often incorporating natural dyes and environmentally conscious methods. The result is not just a fabric but a story, wrapped in every motif and color.
Sarinah Batik continues to inspire young Indonesian designers and art lovers around the world. Whether it’s a scarf, dress, or framed wall piece, owning Sarinah Batik means owning a part of Indonesia’s artistic soul—a legacy of beauty, meaning, and resilience.
