The Singapore fashion label, Baju by Oniatta was founded by Oniatta Effendi in 2016, focusing on batik and batik wearing. Its pieces are inspired by and reinvent traditional Malay and Javanese silhouettes for the contemporary wearers. Baju by Oniatta works with traditional batik makers from Indonesia in creating the designs of each batik fabric; experimenting greatly with traditional batik motifs and colours, employing both traditional batik tulis (hand-drawn batik) and batik cap (stamped batik) techniques.The Senja Jacket was first launched in 2017 and made a return in 2021 for Baju by Oniatta’s international debut in Paris, as part of a showcase of 12 Singapore brands held in Le Marais, titled, “Singapore to Paris: A Journey of the Five Senses”. The event was supported by the Design Singapore Council, Singapore Tourism Board, Enterprise Singapore and the Economic Development Board of Singapore. This iteration of the Senja Jacket is from the Bonjour Baju collection and is made with blue, red and white batik tulis with sido delimo motif.The batik tulis was produced in Surakarta, led by Ibu Rosidah.
