Founded in Sunshine Coast in 2023 by Heryanti, her journey spans from living in Indonesia until 1998 to residing in Timor-Leste until 2017, and finally establishing her current base in Australia. BATAIS is a luxury handmade brand centred around the beauty and heritage of Batik from Indonesia and Tais from Timor-Leste. From a young age, Heryanti was drawn to fashion design, developing a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, storytelling, and the meaning woven into traditional textiles.

BATAIS brings together these two culturally rich fabrics—each carrying generations of history, symbolism, and hand-crafted care—creating a quiet meeting point between the cultures that shaped us. Every piece is thoughtfully crafted in Australia with intention and care, honouring tradition while shaping something new, meaningful, and lasting. Rooted in heritage and personal connection, BATAIS creates timeless pieces that celebrate identity, artistry, and the beauty of cultural preservation.
