Who knew Pokémon and traditional batik would make such a perfect pair?
A shop in Jakarta is winning over Pokémon fans with a unique collection of batik shirts featuring fan favourites like Pikachu, Magikarp, Xatu, and Staryu.
Created by Batik Concept Store, the designs blend traditional Indonesian batik with some of the franchise's most recognisable characters in a way that's both subtle and stylish
While the collection first launched some time ago, it's been making rounds online again after fans recently rediscovered it.
Rather than simply printing Pokémon onto fabric, each design cleverly weaves the characters into intricate batik motifs, creating shirts that look like works of art
Recently, a Threads user shared that they managed to pick up several of the shirts during a visit to the physical store.
Although the Jakarta outlet appears to carry multiple designs, only the Xatu shirt is currently listed on the store's website for 450,000 rupiah (RM101), suggesting the others may be exclusive to the physical store or available in limited quantities.
According to the Threads user, you can drop the store a message on WhatsApp to deliver the shirts to Malaysia.
Find out more info on their Instagram.
