While both Jaipur and Sri Lanka are known for their beautiful batik, there are some key differences to be aware of:
Jaipur Batik:
- Characterized by intricate and detailed motifs, often inspired by nature and Rajasthani culture.
- Uses a wax-resist dyeing technique that results in a unique crackled effect.
- Often features vibrant and bold colors.
Sri Lankan Batik:
- Typically features more geometric and abstract designs.
- The wax is often applied with a tool called a "tjanting," which allows for more precise lines.
- The color palette is often more subdued and earthy.

- By offering Jaipur batik, you can differentiate your boutique from others that may only carry Sri Lankan batik.
- The quality and craftsmanship of Jaipur batik can be a major selling point for your customers.
