Established
in 1997, Island Batik, the parent company of Baliwear, is a
manufacturer and distributor of cotton and rayon Batik and hand painted
panels from Indonesia. The art of batik has been practiced for
centuries in Indonesia and is an integral part of ethnic life and
religious ceremony.
This intimate knowledge of the batik process is what makes the
Indonesian artists talented leaders in their field. Batik is a way of
life and culture for the Indonesian people. Adam & Moira the
owners of Baliwear have always been in the garment manufacturing and
fabric business. "We saw the opportunity of manufacturing garments
using the beautiful and unique fabrics of Bali as a natural extension
of our fabric production, the Balinese artistic creativity and
attention to detail make the perfect partnership.Together with the
Island people we work to improve and uplift the community for the
benefit of all the people associated with us"
This garden Island is a wonderful place to work as the people enjoy
creating and take pride in producing the best quality product, our
Shirts and Sarongs are all hand made, each item has apart of the Island
and culture woven into it. All of the fabric dying is done in a private
manufacturing facility in Bali, which is centered in a small village.
Management of the plant as well as all of the production processes are
performed by men and women of the community. Island Batik currently
employs 80 to 130 community members who transform the white fabric into
the spectacular designs and colors for which the company is known. The
men perform the dying, stamping wax on to the fabric, washing and
drying. The fabric is left out in the rice fields; where good sunlight
is essential to ensure strong color and color fastness. The women do
the quality checking, folding, bolting and packaging of the cloth. We
use community sewing rooms to produce our unique garments and quality
control is managed by our experienced Island Batik team, all product is
produced to the same high standard we are known for.
The philosophy of Island Batik has always been to ensure the success,
enrichment and development of the community we are part of. Some of the
ways this is accomplished is by computer skills training, donations to
neighborhood functions and ceremonies as well as sponsoring the
community volleyball team. These efforts result in a constant uplifting
of the people who partner with Island Batik in production. Because of
the employment opportunity many people have been able to build new
homes, give their children good educations and improve community areas
for the benefit of all. We hope you enjoy our product as much as we
enjoyed making it, "from the hands of Bali to you" |
