From Pelikat to Batik
LISETTE
SHARE
The Balloon Skirt will be available in all stores from this Saturday, including Singapore.
This silhouette began as our Pelikat skirt. It quickly became a favourite because of its volume, ease, and strength. Now it has evolved into batik, while remaining entirely Malaysian in spirit and production. It is 100 percent Malaysian and 100 percent made here. That is something I am very proud of.
This new version is crafted in batik on cotton satin. The fabric is soft with structure, comfortable yet polished. It holds its shape beautifully and moves well on the body. It is effortless to wear, whether styled casually or dressed up.
The skirt comes in two colour versions, each with its own personality, but both rooted in the same heritage craft.
Each piece carries the individuality of handmade work. When it is finished, it is finished. We are not overproducing it. We are honouring the process.
For me, this is a quiet statement of Malaysian pride. A silhouette born from pelikat, reinterpreted in batik, and fully manufactured at home.
