Bible in Batik
It is always very fascinating when I see batik fabric that is not the standard colours and patterns. This piece of batik was from my customer’s mum’s stash of leftover fabric. It is a very beautiful piece of batik that has a horizon, and I really liked that it allowed for the book to have a “top” and “bottom”.
My customer wanted to restore this bible because it has been with him since he was young. It is in Bahasa Indonesia and has tabs on the fore-edge.
I think this batik fabric has finally given us a good example of how batik patterns and fabric can also be masculine and when tastefully done, look very elegant and classic.
