Batik backpack

Surakarta, often called Solo and less commonly Sala, is a city in Central Java, Indonesia.

Well, my girl just came back from Indonesia yesterday night. She had visited Solo and bought two batik night gowns for me. She also bought two batik boxers for her father, a batik scarf for her sister, a batik pyjamas for her youngest sister and a batik purse for her grandma..

She received a batik backpack from her Indonesian friend's mum. 
It's rather unique..

One unmistakable criterium is certainly manufacture according to the international quality standard (GMP/ISO).This is not obligatory!
