Batik Boutique Men's Batik Shirt - Emerald Songket

Perfect for any occasion, Batik Boutique's short-sleeved shirts offer a timeless and unique batik shirt for men. 

The Songket batik print pays homage to Malaysia’s rich textile heritage of batik and songket with a modern twist. Traditionally handwoven with gold or silver threads and previously worn by royalty for ceremonial purposes, songket is derived from the Malay term "menyongsok or sungkit," meaning “to hook” or “to weave." Reimagined by Batik Boutique, this exclusive batik design blends the intricate elegance of songket motifs with contemporary batik artistry — perfect for men’s formal or semi-formal occasions.
