Tanzanian Batiki
Handcrafted in Tanga, Tanzania.
Our stunning hand dyed and hand printed collection of batiki is custom made for us in collaboration with the talented Ester and her team.
Each piece of batiki is uniquely beautiful, truly a piece of fabric art. As it is always hand crafted, our batiki is carefully colour mixed, hand stamped and overdyed in a such a way that it can never be reproduced exactly the same.
The fabric is 100% cotton and already softened for wear with the hand dying and washing. The perfect weighted cotton for clothing or homewares.
As our collection is always produced in small batches, our fabric pieces are precious and very limited. Our batiki features in our store in cushion covers, bags, blankets and handcrafted clothing in our slow fashion collection.
