African batik roots
African batik is now produced in various countries, but our store mainly imports from long-established manufacturers in the Netherlands.
Why the Netherlands?
Why not Africa?
I'm sure many of you think so.
In fact, African batik was not born on the African continent.
picture! is it wrong! ? is what I think.
Its beginning is in the 19th century
It all began when the Dutch noticed the traditional Indonesian craft technique of chintz (batik dyeing).
Let's develop our country's industry! The Dutch developed their own batik dyeing technology and attempted mass production.
......but!
It wasn't very popular in Indonesia. . (disappointing)
Now, the Netherlands is in trouble.
Start looking for new markets.
The company then exported fabrics to West African countries that were colonies of the Netherlands at the time.
Then, what! It suddenly became very popular!
From there, it spread rapidly and developed into an African industry
That's why. (There are various theories)
Therefore, the Netherlands is a pioneer in African batik and boasts high technology and quality.
Once you get your hands on it, you will surely understand its reliable quality.
African batik is said to have traveled the worldIt seems that there was a time when it was produced in Japan♩
Behind things are people and history, and traditions and new things are born.
When we look at that long, long time,
The fabrics are starting to look even more beautiful ^^
