About Blumbang ID

What is Blumbang ID?

Blumbang ID is a craft platform that connects buyers directly with the makers behind each piece — hand-drawn batik and screen-printed garments from Klaten, Central Java. Every piece is tied to the specific person who made it, not sold as an anonymous product.

Who makes the batik at Blumbang ID?

Each batik is drawn by hand by an individual maker in the Klaten region of Central Java, working from their own home. Their name, village, and the time they spent on the piece are shown on its page — so you always know whose hands made yours.

How much of each sale reaches the maker?

Every piece page shows exactly how much of the price goes to the maker's hands. We keep this transparent on purpose — the maker's wage is stated openly alongside the price, never hidden.

Is the batik at Blumbang ID handmade and authentic?

Yes. Every batik is genuine batik tulis — drawn by hand with wax and natural dye, one piece at a time. No two are identical, and each is made once and never repeated.

What is a Living Garment?

A Living Garment is a shirt from Blumbang ID that carries a unique code. Each time the owner scans it from a new place, that location is added to a world map — recording where the shirt has traveled, not where it was made.

Can I talk to the maker directly?

You can meet a maker through Blumbang ID — we bridge the conversation, and the language if needed. We set up every meeting so the maker is never contacted cold, protecting their time and privacy.

How do I buy, and do you ship worldwide?

You reserve a piece by messaging Blumbang ID on WhatsApp; we confirm availability and arrange worldwide shipping from there. Each piece is one of a kind, so once it finds its person, its page stays alive but the cloth is no longer for sale.

Where is Blumbang ID based?

Blumbang ID is based in Jeto, Gaden, Trucuk, Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia — a workshop running since 2022.
