Batik fabric from Verhees Textiles

The art of batik is almost as old as textile craftsmanship itself. Every metre of this fabric is hand-printed, making it truly unique. Verhees Textiles offers a diverse batik collection with the most beautiful colours and motifs. The prints on cotton and viscose are genuine works of art – no two metres are the same.

What is batik?

Batik is the dyeing technique used to create prints on batik fabrics. It begins with natural cotton or viscose dipped into a dye bath. The fabric is then folded and tightly bound to create an even texture. Once dry, it is stamped with melted wax and dyed again. The wax protects the first layer of colour. This process may be repeated several times to achieve specific patterns or special effects. When the quality is perfect, the fabric is dried in the sun and then commercially finished. Since much of the work takes place outdoors, the weather has a strong influence on the final result. Every metre of this artistic fabric is the result of craftsmanship and is entirely unique!

Batik clothing

In the past, the patterns and motifs of batik told a story about the person who wore or created them. Today, batik fabric is also used as a fashion fabric and features in contemporary fashion. Cotton or viscose batik is often used for women’s clothing such as dresses, skirts, and blouses.

Truly unique prints in striking colours

Unique in appearance, with each hand-printed design being slightly different. The colours used for batik fabrics are vibrant, with beautiful nuances and gradients.
