Pramesthi Batik

Pramesthi Batik Kendal, established in 2016, is known for its signature motifs featuring the Kendal tree (its flowers, leaves, and fruits) combined with floral and fauna elements inspired by the coastal (pesisiran) batik tradition. The workshop produces handcrafted batik on premium cotton (primissima) and silk using environmentally friendly natural dyes, with each piece carrying philosophical meaning. Its designs reinterpret traditional Kendal batik based on rare antique fragments preserved in the H. Sarbini Batik Archive (1900–1928). By involving the local community in every stage of production, Pramesthi Batik helps preserve and promote Kendal’s batik heritage for future generations.
