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.
