Work It.October 2nd was National Batik Day in Indonesia. You may be unaware of batik, a cloth that traditionally uses wax resist dying technique and dates back to the 4th century. Not much of batik fabric has surfaced in the states; however, it's cultural identity among Indonesians in their homeland. Batik is used to make sarongs, kebaya dresses and even babies are intentionally wrapped in this cloth to bring good luck through infancy.Batik is making a strong presence in the 21st century since many Indonesian fashion designers are constructing collections with batik being the focal fabric. During Jakarta's Fashion Week in 2010 and 2011, the runways were strutted with batik. So, the next time you grab that "dakine" button up for Aloha Friday, IndoSole wants you to consider batik as an option. Yew

This coming Saturday May 21, 2011 is going to be a fun one. IndoSole's California crew will be hosting a grand opening for our San Clemente Showroom and Office Space. There will be free BBQ, refreshments and good times. We will be setting up a projector and screen in the park and showing the documentary film "Calling On Others" a surf film which inspires education amongst the youth of Indonesia. There will also be product showings and good vibes flowing from: Season 5, Stay in the Light, Paola Loves to Shop, Live Agape, Christy Feaver Jewelry and more. If you are in the area, please come and join us!
