NOVITA YUNUS established Batik Chic in 2009 out of love for traditional artisan crafted textiles and necessity to preserve the cultural heritage of Indonesia; fittingly the company motto is “Keep Heritage Alive”. With the goal of raising awareness and foster the popularity of Batik and other traditional Indonesian fabrics, Batik Chic is committed to create fashionable Batik items for all ages, while at the same time promoting vintage batik fabrics and designs that are quickly vanishing. Novita strongly believes that the success of Batik Chic and NY by Novita Yunus is due to two key factors: exceptional Indonesian craftsmanship and the rich culture of Indonesia, which she will address in her talk.
