Batik Boutique is an award-winning social enterprise with a mission to disrupt the cycle of poverty in Malaysia. The boutique believes in a fashion industry predicated on three foundations; the people, planet and profit. Moreover, it believes in paying homage to Malaysia’s culture and heritage. Thus, every home good and accessory is made with the batik fabric.
The vision the boutique seeks is to empower marginalised communities. Hence, through training their seamstresses and paying their workers fairly, the community can deploy new skills to achieve financial independence. With each purchase, you can expect to be giving back to the community as every purchase made will directly benefit the artisan who handcrafted the products. This entails in an economic model that engenders a sustainable income for the marginalised community.
With its flagship store located at The Row, only a few minutes away from The Chow Kit hotel, our in-house guests can exclusively enjoy 10% off the store’s retail products. Furthermore, in-house guests can also drop by the store for a batik workshop. Our in-house guests can enjoy workshops at a discounted price when they book directly through us.
