FAQ

What is Batik Tulis and why is it special?
Batik Tulis is hand-drawn batik, each pattern is applied by hand using a canting tool, making it one of the most labour-intensive and authentic forms of batik. No two pieces are identical. We use only natural plant-based dyes like indigo. UNESCO has recognised Indonesian batik as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Where are the clothes made, and who makes them?
Designs are created in Singapore by founder Clara Simanjuntak, and produced with ethical artisans, natural dye crafters, and home-based seamstresses in rural Java, Indonesia.

Are the natural dyes safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, natural dyes are gentler on skin than synthetic chemical dyes. Our fabrics use plant-based dyes and are free from harmful substances.

How do I care for my Nyana Nyana pieces?
Hand-wash in cold water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid long soaking and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve natural dye colours.
