We participated in the Trade Expo Bazaar held by the Ministry of Trade at Jogja Expo Center in May 2016. Here are some of the photos from the five-day trade exhibition.

As Andy Williams sings, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” we would like to bring you once again the celebration of welcoming the upcoming Christmas and New Year with our annual Year End Sale. We have various batik bags with radiant patterns to offer, and also not to forget, they will be available at special prices for your shopping enjoyment.

This will begin tomorrow, December 4th, and last until December 31st. So what are you waiting for? Prepare yourself for the annual festivity by visiting our website www.djokdjabatik.com/product-tag/sale to place your order.

We are pleased to give you another exciting update that Djokdja Batik had the opportunity to join a significant trade fair called Pameran Produksi Dalam Negeri 2014 or PPDN 2014.

Held annually by the Ministry of Trade, the event took place at Monumen Nasional (Monas), exactly in the southeast sector, from September 26th to 28th. The three-day festivity successfully attracted the public’s attention with its local craft products and local food exhibition.

We were placed in Booth B129 in the local craft product tent. Despite the daylight heat, this event did not fail to draw the people to visit all of the unique cultural booths. A lot of interesting discussions happened during our trade with the visitors, mostly about batik bag production and batik variants.

Therefore, we would like to thank the sweet and curious visitors who paid visits to our booth and the Ministry of Trade who gave us the chance to join this massive event. Until we meet again in the next trade fair events.

About four months ago, we were approached by the fine people at Monoco Japan to create a form of sizzling collaboration in which our handbag products would be featured on their monthly sale program.. Of course, we were thrilled by the offer and excited that our batik products would get more groundbreaking promotion to Japanese consumers through Monoco.

Quoting from  Crunchbase, Monoco, previously known as Flutterscape, is Japan’s leading online retailer for design, sourcing amazing products from designers all over the world. They pride themselves on inspiring and wowing their customers on a daily basis with ‘New Design Everyday’.

This somehow matches Djokdja Batik’s vision and mission to deliver great, unique and limited designs to our customers. Since day one, we have strived to create product designs that are valuable in beauty and culture but also definite in product results, which makes them more dynamic when it comes to the ever-growing trend in the fashion world. Ever since our batik handbags were published on Monoco’s website, we have received a satisfying number of traffic leads to our main website, thus we explored and figured out the favorite handbag choices of web visitors. Nothing excites us more than having the opportunity to work with the Monoco people, as we have also gained incredible promotional advantages from it. Thank you, Monoco :)

We would like to congratulate TumbuSapa on the launch of its website, which marks the beginning of e-commerce activity run by the generous folks at TumbuSapa. You can catch many glimpses of wonderful Indonesian craft products and purchase them via TumbuSapa’s online store.

In the first product craftsmen article, product craftsmen article, Farida Noor Fanany, the founder of Djokdja Batik & Handicraft, is featured among other profiles as well. She tells her story about how she managed to build Djokdja Batik from the very beginning and her aspirations for future batik products that she would like to pursue further. Here are some snippets from TumbuSapa’s interview with Farida:

Farida Noor Fanany

Berawal dari keinginan untuk mengisi waktu luang sebagai ibu rumah tangga sewaktu tinggal di Jakarta, Farida membuka butik Djokdja Batik & Handicraft pada tahun 2006 di rumahnya.  Pada awalnya hasil karya yang dijual dengan harga yang terjangkau ini berupa kain batik, baju-baju pria dan wanita, remaja, anak-anak. Kemudian selanjutnya berkembang dengan  perlengkapan rumah dan kerajinan (craft), tambahan lagi Djokdja Batik juga menerima pesanan seragam dan hem. Kemudian pada tahun 2012, Farida mulai berinisiatif untuk membuat tas tangan (handbag) batik dengan kombinasi kulit sapi dan vinyl, dengan varian batik jenis lawasan, tulis, lurik dan batik-batik dari beberapa daerah di Indonesia. Pengerjaan handbag ini bekerjasama dengan pengrajin dari Sleman dan Bantul, Yogyakarta. Berbekalkan media promosi via online, reseller dan keikutsertaan di pameran-pameran kebudayaan & perdagangan,  Farida mengharapkan produk-produknya dapat dikenal masyarakat luas di era modern ini selain itu juga dapat melestarikan nilai kultural batik Indonesia.

Our next exhibition event will be ‘The Save Big Is One’ Bazaar Jakarta, which will be held at Graha Mandiri from June 25th to 27th, 2013. Please come to Djokdja Batik’s booth during lunchtime or any convenient time to buy our latest products, which are batik handbags and clothing (men, women, children). The following moments are our loading preparations at home before heading to Graha Mandiri.

We’ll see you there :)

From May 28th to 30th, we had our second batik exhibition at Gedung Patra Jasa, Gatot Subroto, South Jakarta, which was quite successful in gaining a few buyers and resellers. We also got to happily meet some additional merchants as our new friends and colleagues.

Originally taken from our Vine account, these are a few moments of our preparation for our first batik handbag exhibition, which was held at Gedung Manggala Wanabhakti, Forestry Department, at the end of last April.

While going through the leftover materials from our previous crafty-bitsy production, we stumbled upon an amazing 2-second video clip showcasing one of our beautiful batik handbags.
