About the brand
Antik Batik is a French designer brand founded in 1992 by Gabriella Cortese, an Italian globetrotter living in Paris. Born from a passion for travel and craftsmanship, the brand emerged after Cortese's transformative journey to Indonesia, where she discovered the ancient art of batik textile printing. This initial inspiration led to the creation of her first collection of sarongs, marking the beginning of what would become a pioneering force in bohemian-chic fashion. The brand is renowned for its authentic approach to fashion, collaborating with skilled artisans across India, Bali, and Peru to create handcrafted pieces using traditional techniques such as embroidery, bandhani dyeing, and block printing. Antik Batik's collections feature flowing silhouettes, rich ethnic prints, and intricate embellishments on natural fabrics like silk, cotton, and alpaca wool. With a philosophy rooted in sustainable and ethical practices, the brand has cultivated a sophisticated bohemian aesthetic that appeals to free-spirited women seeking authenticity and global inspiration in their wardrobe.
