The Batik Boutique (TBB) is a social enterprise created to disrupt the cycle of poverty by equipping artisans in Malaysia with marketable skills, job training and sustainable employment. This social enterprise started as a story of one woman helping another, and maintains its commitment to social impact today. TBB trains women from low-income backgrounds to sew hand-made gifts and fashion accessories made from a traditional Malaysian fabric called batik. While The Batik Boutique takes enormous pride in the high quality hand-made fashion, gifts and home goods that their artisans create, people matter most .
