KOTA TINGGI, 24 Feb - Pengusaha teknik batik alami, Norida Dahlan, 61, memperkenalkan koleksi baju dan selendang batik alami kepada pengunjung sempena Pemukiman Menteri-Menteri Ekonomi ASEAN (AEM) ke-31 yang berlangsung di Desaru Coast Conference Centre semalam.

Norida, usahawan kelahiran Johor, telah menghasilkan pelbagai produk berasaskan fabrik di bawah jenama Norli Creation sejak 2018. Antara produk yang ditawarkan termasuk beg tangan, beg tote, cardigan, t-shirt, blaus dan topi, semuanya dihasilkan menggunakan teknik batik alami.

Menurutnya, teknik eco print dilakukan menerusi kaedah kukusan daun atau bunga pada fabrik dalam tempoh dua jam.

"Daun atau bunga diletakkan di atas fabrik dan dibungkus dengan ketat sebelum dikukus. Wap air yang terhasil daripada proses ini akan mengeluarkan getah semula jadi dari daun atau bunga, lalu membentuk motif unik pada fabrik," jelasnya.

KOTA TINGGI, Feb 24 – A natural batik technique entrepreneur, Norida Dahlan, 61, showcases her collection of natural batik clothing and shawls to visitors at the 31st ASEAN Economic Ministers' (AEM) Retreat at the Desaru Coast Conference Centre.

Johor-born entrepreneur Norida produces a variety of fabric-based products under the Norli Creation brand, which she has been developing since 2018. Among the products she offers are handbags, tote bags, cardigans, t-shirts, blouses, and hats, all crafted using the natural batik technique.

According to her, the eco-print technique involves steaming leaves or flowers onto fabric for two hours.

"Leaves or flowers are placed on the fabric and tightly wrapped before being steamed. The steam extracts the natural sap from the leaves or flowers, leaving behind unique patterns on the fabric," she explains.
