The Meru Sanur and Bali Beach Hotel, The Heritage Collection, proudly celebrated National Batik Day through a meaningful collaboration with Sarinah under InJourney Retail, presenting “Srikandi By The Sea,” a celebration of Indonesia’s timeless art, culture, and craftsmanship.
Batik holds a profound place in Indonesian heritage, each pattern and motif tells a story that reflects the nation’s rich diversity, sophisticated court cultures, and centuries of cross-cultural influences from China, India, and Arabia. It stands as a true embodiment of “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” — unity in diversity. The historical significance of Batik, combined with its intricate crafting process, makes it one of Indonesia’s most treasured legacies — a living art form that must be valued, preserved, and passed down through generations.
At InJourney Hospitality, we believe that Indonesian culture and heritage should not only be remembered but also reimagined and experienced. These values lie at the heart of everything we do — inspiring the design, ambiance, and guest experiences across The Meru Sanur and Bali Beach Hotel, The Heritage Collection.
This collaboration with Sarinah, a pioneer in championing Indonesia’s creative economy and artisans, embodies our shared vision: to strengthen the ecosystem that promotes, preserves, and elevates Indonesia’s cultural heritage on the global stage.
The highlight of the celebration, “Srikandi By The Sea”, was a trunk show that beautifully intertwined the strength and grace of Indonesian women with the serene beauty of Bali’s coastline. Inspired by Srikandi, the show reflected the courage, elegance, and spirit of modern Indonesian women through a harmonious blend of traditional textiles, contemporary design, and Balinese tropical aesthetics.
The fashion presentation highlighted exclusive collections by Uluwatu Handmade Balinese Lace and Debz by Debby Fauziyanto—two esteemed Sarinah partners celebrated for their artistry, craftsmanship, and creative excellence.
Uluwatu Handmade Balinese Lace presented a stunning collection that reflected the intricate artistry of handcrafted Balinese lace. Each design exuded delicate femininity and timeless sophistication, merging traditional lace-making techniques with modern silhouettes that celebrate grace and refinement.
Debz by Debby Fauziyanto, founded by the talented designer herself, embodies a modern interpretation of Indonesian heritage through contemporary batik resort wear. Designed with light and effortless silhouettes in rayon and cotton, each piece reflects the timeless elegance and cultural richness of Indonesia. Debz has showcased its collections at prestigious fashion events across Jakarta, Bali, Singapore, and Australia, and in 2023, received the Best Designer Award at the Australian Supermodel of the Year in Bali—further cementing its reputation as a rising name in Indonesian fashion. Through Srikandi By The Sea, The Meru Sanur, Bali Beach Hotel, The Heritage Collection, and Sarinah reaffirm their commitment to honoring Indonesia’s cultural legacy while continuing to weave new stories that celebrate the nation’s enduring beauty and spirit.
