4.0Kampoeng Batik Laweyan(406 reviews) - Better to explore the "home factory" Spent More than 3 hours Historic Sites
to be honest, I dissatisfied with those batik motif displayed at stores along Laweyan main street and alleyway, they mostly display and selling modern batiks while I preferred the oldskul motif and therefor I recommend for those who seek "batik lawasan" to explore the batik home factory as those home industry offers you lower price than you see on stores. for instance, try to see "Batik GressTenan at Jl. Setono rt 02, rw 02". happy batik hunting and keep in your mind; "Batik is the Indonesia authentic cultural heritage"See more..
