About Antik Batik

Gabriella Cortese, the designer behind Antik Batik, has a spirit for traveling within her soul. Born in Turin, she enjoyed a wonderful childhood there. Her Hungarian grandmother taught her how to embroider, while her mother embodied the model of eternal elegance.

ANTIK BATIK was born in 1992 during a journey of initiation in Bali. The thousand-year-old batik technique for printing silk inspired Gabriella to create her first range of pareos and scarves. Having discovered India, Gabriella explored other types of ancestral savoir-faire: hand embroidery, hand weaving, and “bandhani,” an artisanal dyeing process. Sought after by celebrities and all kinds of women looking for authenticity, ANTIK BATIK has become an emblem of “bohemian-chic” living.
