Batik was originally made in Java, Indonesia. Batik is now made all over the world
so many... batik is differentiated by the location where it came from, some places in Indonesia that produce batik such as : Cirebon, Solo, Garut, Madura. All of those places are located in Java. So, for the batik produced in solo we called it batik Solo, etc. Each place has their own batik pattern as their signature, so just by looking at the pattern we can tell where the batik came from. Hope the info can help :)

Batik is a well-known process used by artists and manufacturers in Indonesia.
Batik is made using a variety of materials and equipment, including cotton or silk fabric as the base. The primary tools are a canting (a small tool with a spout for applying wax) and a brush for detailing. The wax, typically made from a mixture of beeswax and paraffin, is used to create designs by resisting dye. Additionally, fabric dyes and heat sources for melting the wax are essential for the batik process.
