ANTIK BATIK
Gabriella Cortese followed her love for fashion and studied French design in Paris. However, she came across another option – batik. Quickly falling in love with it, she left France for Tibet to immerse herself in the world of Eastern designs. This enabled Cortese to broaden her horizons by exploring embroidery and bandhani, leading to the founding of Antik Batik in 1992. Today, the brand is known for its spirit and creativity worldwide.
