about our suppliers
 

At Batik indah we specialise in importing unusual furniture and hand made crafts from India and Indonesia...


Launched in 1994, Batik Indah has grown rapidly to the point where we now supply ethnic craft and furniture shops throughout Britain.

We specialise in unusual furniture and crafts from Indonesia, Vietnam and India, spending many weeks of the year in these countries sourcing new lines.
We are a family based business and have strong links with the countries from which we buy. We are responsible for all of our own buying and in doing so we can control who we buy from. When we buy we like to go to the workplace and see the conditions in which the employees are working - if we are not happy we simply do not do business. The majority of our suppliers are also small family based companies employing family members and, sometimes, other local village people. By buying in this way we ensure the fair price that we pay is channelled to the people who need it most, cutting out the middleman.



Our concern for fair trade

Naturally, protection of the environment is an important issue for all of us. All our products come from many different suppliers in and around Indonesia and India. Wherever possible we deal direct with craftsmen and women who use materials from renewable sources and fashion them with regard for the environment. The craftspeople we deal with are masters in their respective arts and we ensure that all monies go direct to them, their families and their employees and not to fat cat conglomerates. In some cases profits go towards improving the environment of these people, such as schooling for their children.

No Children are employed in any of our suppliers workshops.


Exhibition Vehicles

Batik Indah offer a travelling exhibition lorry service where, by appointment, you can view our wonderful products in the flesh.

We aim to visit our customers within mainland Britain every 4-6 weeks, where samples of all stock can be viewed in an attractive environment at the customers own leisure, outside their own premises, at a time convenient to them. The exhibition vehicle is regularly refitted to showcase new stock as it comes in, or tailored to suit a customer’s particular stock preferences. This allows them to view before they buy and be advised by one of our personable salesmen. Any orders placed are delivered the following week. By doing business in this way it allows us to maintain a personal face to face relationship with our customers.

To arrange an appointment for a showvisit please get in touch with us.


Scottish Customers

Scottish customers can benefit from a van sales service where you can buy products direct from the van when Chris comes to see you. Deliveries can also be arranged for phone or web orders.
