Riley Blake Designs batiks are ethically sourced and made with the highest quality  Indonesian poplin-like fabric of superior weave and finish. Each hand-dyed print is designed and developed by cultivating relationships with true batik artisans in Indonesia.

Tjap, pronounced “chop” is a batik fabric stamp created with thin strips of copper that are manipulated by hand into florals, geometrics, or other motifs.

To create breathtaking batiks, a copper Tjap is dipped into melted wax and skillfully stamped onto hand-dyed fabric. The wax sets into the fibers and conceals the color of the hand-dye. The fabric is then prepared for a second layer of color. Once the fabric has dried in the bright Indonesian sunshine, the fabric soaks in a hot bath to remove the wax from the fibers to reveal the striking and colorful design underneath.
