Batik ... the most quintessential Indonesian textile: Young Colors use the ancient art process of batik to create fun motifs for these colorful fabrics. They begin by drawing and designing motifs for new fabrics each season. To create the color story concept we must keep in mind the basic principles of mixing colors. A metal stamp or "cap" (pronounced "chop") of the new motif is carefully made by an artist. The cap is where the crispness of detail begins for Young Colors. The fabric making process starts with white cotton. The number of colors determines how many dye baths the fabric goes through. In a simple design the first dye bath is the color of the motif or pattern. We then hand stamp the motif on to the newly dyed fabric with a cap dipped in hot wax. Wherever the wax sets the next dye or color will not. Depending on the desired effect or complexity of the colors, various processes are used to create multiple colors and shade effects. After the fabric is set and dried, it is placed in boiling hot water to remove the wax. The long sheets of fabric are then line dried by the hot, tropical sun helping to further set the colors. The pre-washed, pre-shrunk fabric is now ready to be cut and sewn.
