Batik Sarung

Batik Sarung? For the younger generations, they wouldn't know how to use them. Only those of our mother's( 60s of age )generations are still using them or for kampung folks (some would relate to). Not everyone (from my customers' feedback) are keen to wear them, just because it is hard to wear/tie it i.e afraid the sarung might slip down.

But surprisingly our sarongs are still the popular item during all the sales, especially among the foreigners. As our sarongs from local Terengganu are made from good cotton and have beautiful colours and designs, they were bought as personal use (as long skirt/ pareo), gifts to their loved ones/guests, table cloths or to be made into other craft items. Not expensive though.




Batik Sarong is a long piece of fabric normally measuring standard 40” x 70” in length with the two sides sewn together.


The beauty of the batik sarong is its adaptability as it can be used in so many ways. Traditionally, the women wear it around the waist. It can also be worn from the arm as a sundressor bath cloth.


Others use it as a head-cloth to shield from the sun, and mother lull their babies to sleep in the hook of the sarung. If the ends are not sewn together, then it is called kain lepas to be used as a waist wrap-around
