Batik has been integral to Malaysian culture and its identity throughout the history of Malaya and Malaysia as we know it today. For Malaysians, batik is like wearing your heart on your sleeve. And it’s not as easy as you’d think to find ready-to-wear batik designs around Kuala Lumpur. Luckily, there are a number of homegrown brands that specialise in batik as they marry tradition with modernity—one of them is Batik Boutique. Batik Boutique’s Raya collection this year is like a walk in a tropical spice garden. Its unique, premium quality batik shirt for men is hand-made using a traditional block printing technique by Malaysian artisans and it’s made using 100% natural fibre.

Another one of our homegrown brands that’s known for their batik is none other than Kapten Batik. When they launched their brand in March 2017, their aim was to bring batik designs from around the world to adorn men’s shirts—and they did. Their Raya 2022 collection exudes a Maharaja’s grandeur. Their premium batik shirt is made from 100% GOTS certified organic Cambric cotton with a traditional hand block printing using Teak Wood Block. Not only that, their organic cotton is grown in an environment where no pesticides, chemical fertilisers, or herbicides have been used for a minimum of three years. Organic yarn spinners have set isolated processing areas in order to segregate the organic cotton from conventional cotton. The dyeing and finishing of organic cottons also follow a strict procedure for chemical use in processing, eliminating all materials harmful to the body and the environment. Hence, if you’re looking to dress responsibly, Kapten Batik is the one for you.
