Batik : A traditional Indonesian art at the heart of our collections
The Batik, an ancestral Indonesian cultural treasure, is deeply rooted in the fabric of Balinese daily life, revealing a profound connection between art, tradition and cultural identity. At Maison Bukit, we honor this ancestral heritage by integrating Batik into our kimono collections, creating a harmonious fusion between the splendor of the French Riviera and the splendor of Balinese culture.
The unique place of Batik in Indonesian and Balinese culture
The importance of Batik in Balinese culture lies in its symbolic meaning and its heritage, handed down from generation to generation. This fabric-dyeing process, in which patterns are drawn by hand using hot wax and then colored with natural dyes, reflects the very soul of Indonesia. Each pattern and color used in Batik tells a story, expressing values, beliefs, and traditions deeply rooted in it’s history and culture.
The allure of Batik transcends time and space, weaving a tapestry that connects the past with the present, and humanity with nature. It encompasses more than mere clothing; it embodies an emblem of identity and a narrative of cultural richness.
Our very own Batik: Where the French Riviera meets Balinese culture
At Maison Bukit, we are committed to perpetuating this age-old tradition by creating our own Batik, imbued with our artistic vision and love for Balinese culture. Each pattern we designed was carefully crafted to capture the essence of Indonesia and Bali, while incorporating influences from the glamour of the French Riviera, creating a unique and modern aesthetic.
Our collections are a testament to this harmonious fusion of two worlds, where the timeless beauty of Bali meets the sophisticated elegance of the Riviera. Each piece we create is a celebration of art, culture and tradition, embodying the spirit of Maison Bukit and the heritage of Indonesian history.
