A Batik Warehouse Like No Other: Bidadari Batik

Spacious inside and out — plenty of parking, too

First up is Bidadari Batik in Denpasar.

Picture a warehouse entirely devoted to batik — this is the spot if you want to see just how varied this craft can be.

Live batik demonstrations, too!

Watching the hand-painting process up close is something you really only get at a specialty shop like this!

The space is huge, so give yourself time to really browse

Over 1,000 pieces on display

The showroom feels almost gymnasium-sized, packed with everything from apparel to small accessories in every pattern imaginable.

Block out more time than you think you'll need.

A quick tour of the highlights

▼ Dresses for grown-up women

Not just resort wear — plenty of pieces here work just as well for everyday life. This front-button, shirt-style dress runs around Rp890,000 (roughly $57).

▼ Men's batik shirts & ties

YUKI

I brought home a men's batik shirt as a gift once — it was a total hit.

Men's shirts mostly sit around Rp600,000 (roughly $39), with endless choices in size and pattern.

The ties are especially affordable and make a great gift for the older gentlemen in your life. With so many patterns available, they're also easy to buy in bulk if you're shopping for several people.

▼ Batik plush toys

Plush toys from Rp275,000 (about $18) each

YUKI

Sorry for the blurry shot!

Dogs, horses, and more — dressed up in batik patterns, these little stuffed animals are irresistibly cute.

▼Small batik accessories

This mini bag fits just the essentials — wallet, phone, a handkerchief. With plenty of patterns and a friendly price point, it works equally well as a gift or a treat for yourself.

This pouch closes with a magnetic snap, similar to a glasses case, so it holds its shape beautifully.

YUKI

Great as a glasses case, pen pouch, or a little accessory holder while traveling!

▼ Batik fabric by the meter

Quite possibly the widest fabric selection on the island

Endlessly versatile — sew it into clothing or bags, or use it as a home decor accent. A roughly 2-meter length starts around Rp290,000 (about $19).

Sarongs from Rp360,000 (about $23)

These soft, well-made sarongs cost a bit more than what beach vendors sell, but the quality and fit make the difference worth it.

Ways to wear your sarong

Wrap it as a long skirt, tie it halter-style as a dress — perfect for beach club days and resort evenings alike.

Doubles beautifully as a stole, too ♪

A Brand With a Signature Style: Pithecanthropus

Pithecanthropus is the brand that helped put "batik" and "stylish" in the same sentence, globally.

Definitely worth visiting both shops in one trip!

One word for this shop: tasteful.

Every pattern here is designed in-house, and it shows — the whole space has a distinct, considered feel.

Men's batik shirt, Rp1,220,000 (about $79)

This blouse mixes two different batik patterns into one design. Beautifully done.

Women's matching set, Rp1,540,000 (about $99)

This crop-top set is bold — the kind of thing you'd really only wear on a resort trip — but the design and pattern work are undeniably chic.

▼ Batik accessories

The accessories are handmade, right down to the charming stitching, with pouches in a range of shapes and sizes.

YUKI

The eye mask was Rp120,000 (about $8)!

The shop sits right alongside Masa Masa, an Indonesian restaurant — perfect for pairing your shopping with lunch or a coffee break.
