Also known as kain sarung in Indonesia, the sarong was the dress of the seafaring peoples of the Malay Peninsula near Sumatra and Java.
It was subsequently introduced on the island of Madura between the 18th to 19th centuries. One of the earliest motifs of batik sarongs of the north coast of Java and Madura is two rows of triangles whose points face each other, called tumpal. It symbolises the force of life.

Our reimagined sarong features a removable outer layer—a long wrap skirt with overlapping fabric—and an inner shorts layer for easy wearing at home.
The outer layer can be worn on its own as well. Made from lightweight, bio-engineered fabric, it retains the ornamental nature of batik fabric, naturally dyed using natural ingredients such as tumeric.
