Bright Striped Batik Journal
Bright Striped Batik Journal

Vivid stripes spark imagination with the Bright Striped Batik Journal. Each page is made of handcrafted jute paper, and the sturdy front and back cover are decorated with batik paper. Batik is a traditional way of dyeing paper and fabric using wax that is either drawn or stamped onto fabric. The technique originated in Indonesia and has been practiced in many countries for centuries. Each journal is handcrafted in Bangladesh by artisans with Prokritee, offering safe and fair employment to women in rural areas.
