Batik shops in Terengganu, Malaysia

Of late, I received a number of requests for list of batik shops and batik outlets all over the continents. Come to think of it, since it may take some times to locate and list down of boutiques that sell batik in the US or London, I decided to put efforts to make a list of batik shops in Terengganu, Malaysia.

By using the available resources, I managed to come up with the below list. The locations and contacts are correct as the time I put them here. Should there are any changes, I will do as much as I could to update them. I do need help though, so, anyone is most welcome to help me in updating or adding up the list should you have the information. I am more than willing to help the small and medium batik entrepreneurs to make their outlet locations listed here.

To get listed here, I shall use what facebook always say:It is free and always will be. This is just a small favor and the least I could do to help to commercialize the batik industries.Just email me and I will do the necessary. Here is the current list of locations (not in alphabetical order) where you can shop for batik in Terengganu:

I found information of this International Batik Convention and Exhibition which was held in 2009 in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This should be a great venue to promote batik to the eye of the world.

Batik designs models

Traditionally, batik sarongs are worn mostly by women and that is the reason that makes it much easier to promote batik fashion to the world. One great way of promoting batik is by including them as part of fashion shows. International fashion show organisers are busy scheduling various fashion show with batik concepts to be held in various venues which include the top fashion cities in the world, Paris, Milan & New York. Model agencies, on the other hand, are busy scouting for new talents who dream to become the next Tyra Banks or could at least become the top batik sarong fashion models.

To what extent does efforts have been placed to bring beautiful batik designs to the world?
Miss Tourism International 2010 is a great example of such efforts. Special written batik were paraded by beauty queens for worldwide admiration.

Another great way to promote batik is by attracting top celebrities, particularly Hollywood celebrities to be batik ambassador. Former England football captain, David Beckham, was once spotted wearing batik in such a fashionable way.



Batik sarongs are no longer a traditional wear for women in South East Asia but it has now find its spot in the international fashion industries. It may soon become preferred cloth by the world renowned fashion designers in their Summer Collections.
