Batik Sarawak

Along India Street I saw yards of Batik Sarawak material displayed in front of the shop, Fabriko. The flowing floral-like designs above are peculiar of one of the many ethnic groups in Sarawak called the Orang Ulu, comprising the Kelabits,Kayans, Kenyahs,etc. These designs are either printed or hand painted on silk, cotton or polyester.

Storefronts at Kuching waterfront

The Kuching waterfront is fast becoming a must visit destination and one of the attraction at the place are the rows of handicrafts and sovenier shops that line the road parallel to the water front area. I caught a glimpse of two this afternoon, while shopping for Sarawak or Borneo designed T-shirts.
