This mask features Iwan Tirta’s signature motif that is hand-drawn and dyed in indigo natural colouring. It is a fashion accessory that is not only functional but also a canvas on which the traditional batik craft is interpreted for modern use. The mask reflects how people would pair their masks with their outfits during the Covid-19 pandemic.Iwan Tirta (1935 – 2010, brand est. 2003) was nationally celebrated for his high-quality, hand-drawn batik creations in Indonesia and also internationally acclaimed. He was well-known for designing batik clothes for prominent personalities like Ronald Reagan and Nelson Mandela. Era Soekamto who became the creative director after Iwan Tirta’s passing learned from the same group of artisans as he did. While designs are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, Era continues practising certain traditional techniques and principles of batik. Today, the eponymous brand continues to preserve Indonesia’s rich history of batik, by applying them on fashionable items.
