Autumn-Winter Collection

Bright colours, shimmering velvets, radiant silks, and sweaters - from multicoloured large knits to soft and comfy pastel-colored alpaca decorated with openwork details. For this season, Antik Batik has been having fun with colors and prints. From street-ready interpretations of traditional garments to exoticism-tinged urban wear, the collection's presents a medley of earth tones with a pop of vibrant color. The brand's eclecticism is thoroughly expressed in the choice of materials: this fall, velvet snuggles up to silk, animal prints are mixed in with metallic ornaments, and lace lightens up cotton.

Bags & Wallets

A whole collection of handbags, clutches, totes and baskets that will accessorize your summer outfits! We have imagined a wide choice of materials and forms for you. Clutches in raffia, in straw, in jute or in cotton, decorated with embroidery of colorful patterns that express, this season again, the “savoir-faire” dear to the brand. With white leather models with metallic ornaments, or models in embossed leather, all will make you look hippy and street at the same time. The Kaila round leather bag in tan or black color, carried crossed, is already the must-have of all city-dwellers.

Dresses

This winter, discover the brand's authentic bohemian chic fashion through a collection of dresses in bold silhouettes and natural materials like cotton, canvas and silk. Whether in solid colors or floral prints, Antik Batik's flowing mini, midi and maxi dresses display mixed artistic influences. Each one is adorned with sublime detailing: openwork lack shoulders, waist-cinching ribbons, pearl-decorated collars, contrasting prints in radiant colors, and sheer panels peeking from under a sea of sequins.

Craftsmanship Meets Artistry

Since 1992, Antik Batik has produced elaborate ready-to-wear pieces requiring hours upon hours of expertise and artistry. It is her fascination for the finesse and dexterity of the artisans she meets through her constant travels that drives Gabriella Cortese to create and imagine garments made to be crafted, in diametric opposition to industrialised, mass-produced fast fashion, instead distilling millennia of traditional dyeing and printing processes – such as bandhani and batik – embroidery techniques, and weaving know-how. In the truest of tradition and with patience, tender care and devotion, the women and men with whom the designer has built relationships of trust and respect give life to the unique pieces that corral to form Antik Batik’s distinctive collections.

Craftsmanship Meets Artistry

Gabriella Cortese has let her fascination for traditional know-how guide her creative spirit since she founded Antik Batik back in 1992. Highlighting the ancestral skills of the craftspeople she meets through her many travels is part of her mission statement, with each new collection distilling millennia of dyeing heritage, like bandhani and batik, into unique garments constructed around exceptional weaving and embroidery techniques.

Inspirations

Founder and designer of Antik Batik, Gabriella Cortese and photoghrapher Thierry Le Gouès traveled to Peru, to capture the essence of the brand. They chose a beautiful, but also very contrasting scenery: the mountains of Cuzco and the rivers of Lake Titicaca. Rich and elaborated clothes.... in a joyful and vibrant place. This resulted not only in stunning fashion photography, but also in an emotional coverage of the lifestyle of the Peruvian people.
