Note: The nature of Batik tulis is handmade, not perfect like machine-made fabric. Most old batiks are used, and some have never been used. Slight discoloration and minor tears are rare but possible because of age and natural dyes. And this is not a damage or defect. Photos are taken with Samsung phone camera - without filter - using natural light. Thank you for considering slightly different colors & screen resolutions.
