Do you offer hand-block print and batik resort wear?

Yes, Bali Resort Wear Wholesale offers hand-block print, batik, and tie-dye resort wear through our specialized network of vetted artisan workshops in Bali. While not every workshop handles these intricate techniques, we connect you with the specific partners capable of delivering authentic artisanal prints, ensuring quality and traditional craftsmanship.

What are the typical MOQs for hand-block print and batik clothing?

For hand-block print and batik clothing, the typical Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) per style, design, and colourway is generally higher than for mainstream prints, usually ranging from 100-200 pieces. This accounts for the significant manual labour and specialized setup required for these traditional processes. Total order value minimums (e.g., US$1,500-US$5,000+) also apply, depending on the workshop.

How does the cost of artisanal prints compare to digital or screen prints?

Artisanal prints like hand-block and batik are typically 20-50% more expensive than equivalent digitally or screen-printed garments. This premium reflects the intensive manual labour, specialized artisan skills, longer production times, and the unique, handcrafted nature of each piece. Our FOB Bali price ranges are indicative and provided by quote, reflecting these differences.

What kind of variance should I expect in hand-block print or batik garments?

In hand-block print and batik garments, you should expect and appreciate inherent variances. These can include slight differences in colour saturation, minor shifts in pattern alignment, and small irregularities in the print. These are not defects but rather authentic hallmarks of a handmade product, adding to its unique charm and character. Our quality control ensures these variances remain within acceptable aesthetic limits.

Can I get exclusive designs for my hand-block print or batik collection?

Yes, absolutely. We facilitate the development of exclusive designs for your hand-block print or batik collection. We work with you to translate your vision into carveable blocks or batik patterns. Clear agreements on Intellectual Property (IP) ownership are established to protect your unique designs within our trusted network of partners. At Bali Resort Wear Wholesale, we pride ourselves on being your honest, trade-credible B2B desk for sourcing resortwear from Bali. We coordinate with vetted factories and buying houses, offering expertise in both Full Package Production (FPP) and Cut, Make, Trim (CMT) services.

Do you offer hand-block print and batik resort wear?

Yes — hand-block, batik and tie-dye through a specialised network of vetted artisan workshops. Not every Bali workshop handles these techniques, so we match you with the partners who do.

Usually 100–200 pieces per style, design and colourway, plus a total order value minimum of about $1,500–5,000+, depending on the workshop.

Typically 20–50% more than an equivalent digitally or screen-printed garment, reflecting manual labour, artisan skill and longer production. FOB Bali ranges are indicative, by quote.

Softer than rayon; less common for traditional techniques, but adaptable.

Honest risks

What to Plan For

Handmade production has trade-offs. Clear tech packs and checks keep them in hand.

Sizing can vary ±3 cm in small artisan workshops — mid-production checks help
Rayon can shrink 5–10% if not pre-shrunk; advise cold wash and air dry
“Hand Wash Cold, Line Dry” is often recommended for hand-block and batik
Design ownership is agreed in writing with trusted, vetted partners
Partners are assessed for fair wages, safe conditions and no child labour
