Our Social Impact
do good through your purchase
Batik Boutique exists to do good as we do business. Our main area of impact is in our artisans' communities. We provide skills training and income opportunities to makers across Malaysia. As a company we are committed to the UN SDGs for no poverty, fair work conditions and gender equality. In addition, we use a portion of all revenue for impact projects like capacity building training and refugee education.
Thank you for your partnership as a customer. Each order you make will impact the lives of many artisans and their families as we strive to bring Malaysian batik to the world while doing good to those around us.

We provide income opportunities for 400+ artisans so they can break the cycle of poverty and create stronger communities for generations to come.
Skills Training
We provide skills training for 200+ women so they can provide for their families while working in fair and safe environments that teach and empower skills needed for growth and development.

turn wanie's dream into reality
Batik Boutique purchased equipment for Wanie to learn the traditional method of batik block making from a master to carry on this endangered heritage skill and keep batik thriving.
Rebuilt Aznan’s Roof
Aznan was forced to send his workers home during the monsoon season until we rebuilt his roof and provided a concrete floor as a give back from company profits from customers like you.
Giving back to seamstress
We were able to purchase an industrial ironing machine for our sewing center, plus provide givebacks to our seamstresses in the choice of household goods for them.
give second chances
Our profits funded Financial Literacy programs for ex-prisoners and recovering drug addicts to teach life skills as they seek a second chance.

Each month, Batik Boutique sponsors 23 refugee children's education through Fugeelah and Greater Action. All made possible through your purchases.
