Batik Najlazea: The New Address Label

The former address label design

The latest address label design

Just found some spare time couple weeks a go and the idea to design something came up. I checked some stuff from my online batik business such as, the clothing label, the price tag and the address label. After thinking it over, I decided to redesign the address label. I usually put the address label at the batik package that is ready to be delivered. I write the customer's address there. You can say, it's like our package signature. Actually there're no major changes. The basic design is still there. I still use my favorite animal, the butterfly, I just change the font into something simpler and the dominant color, it's not pink anymore but blue. I find blue might refresh our mood. Don't you think so? 

Batik Najlazea: 2nd Anniversary Sale

Whew...time does fly. My online shop is celebrating its second anniversary today. Honestly having my own business has never crossed my mind before. I always thought that I am going to be a career woman. Working from nine to five. That's it. But life is a mystery. You will never know what's next.

It's never been easy to start your own business. You have to be tough and persistent. Just work hard. never look back. I learn a lot from my small business here. Moreover since I handle all by myself , from production until delivery, therefore I just realized how this business somewhat changed my point of view. I am still learning now. The more you learn about having your own business, the more you realize that you knew very little about it. In fact it seems there are always new things to explore.

My dream is simple. Just hoping that Batik Najlazea will always be in the heart of its customers and it can grow bigger and bigger, amen.

Batik Najlazea: February Collection

Whew...at last our February Collections are here. My initial target is to produce minimal 20 items per month. But it seems it is getting harder everyday since I handle all i.e. batik hunting, production and promotion by myself *excuse*.

A friend offered me two projects last week with crazy deadlines. No, the projects had nothing to do with batik. I dealt with legal drafting and stuffs. Definitely not a fun thing to do but it is still okay as long as I don't have to deal with them everyday:)

Trying to do all at the same time is hard. Finally I come to a conclusion that I will not push it. I will not let myself getting stressful over my online shop or anything else. I will enjoy all and not consider them as an obligation. They are just hobbies. No deadlines. No target.

Well....life is beautiful again^^... enjoy our lovely sackdress and colorful capuchon here.

Yes...We're Open Now

Pfiuuuhhhh...after a lot of postponement, at last my online shop, www.batiknajlazea.com can be launched. The website is still far from perfect and also there are only 4 wardrobe collection there and unfortunately 1 wardrobe already sold. But not too worry, I still have around 40 wardrobes to be up loaded in there. Just wait. I am working on it.

While waiting the completion of the website, I made a Facebook account for Batik Najlazea and I already finished up loading around 30 photos there. If you want to join our Facebook account, just add us on www.facebook.com/batik najlazea.

I think that's all for today, I let you know for any up date about our Batik Najlazea collection.

So Little Time, Too Much To Do

Pppfffiuhhhh....Arkarna's tittle of song, So Little Time Too Much To Do, really representing my condition now. So many things to do. I don't know which one to go first. My plan to launch my online shop on early of July finally is postponed due to certain things are not perfect yet.

In the middle of my hectic world, out of the blue, a friend asked me to join her in a short trip to Singapore. Uhmm...a very tempting offer. After thinking about it over and over, at the end I said yes. I just think I need to relax. Who knows after recharging, I come back with new brilliant ideas.

It's only a 3-day-journey. Yes, Singapore Great Sale is on now. But, we stayed away from it *denial*. Honestly, we didn't do much shopping there. Purchased things that make me super excited are my favorite items, i.e. Yasmin Ahmad's VCDs, Sepet and Sepet 2:Gubra, and also Haruki Murakami's book Birthday Stories. Yay..

I also visited a friend who studies there. Therefore this trip mostly full of chit-chat, everywhere, at cafe, under the tree or at every bench we found. Just the 3 of us accompanied by interesting topics to talk about, a glass of teh tarik and kaya toast. What a beautiful moment.

Now I am back with the new spirit. Ready to face the world *exaggerating*. Well....it's time to go back to my online shop project now. Wish me luck.

PS: Above pictures are Najla & Zea wearing our wardrobe collection, Batik Najlazea, too big for them? Yeah...those items are actually for adult.

Oooopss...It's Getting Closer

Never realize that resign has a lot of meaning and most of them are positive. Since I left my job, I am now enjoying life more and more. I don't have to deal with working hour anymore. Oh....I am free. Free as a bird. It's me who will be in charge for everything. And I decide to do the things I like.

The idea actually came up 3 months a go when I was at Inacraft, one of my favorite craft events. While surrounded by tons of batik fabrics, suddenly tadaaaa....the urge to have my own products to sell just showed up. Since I love batik, I love batik wardrobe, at last I choose batik as my core business.

Finally, here I am, busy preparing for my on-line shop. Started with batik hunting, back and forth to the tailors scattered around Jakarta, taking pictures for the ready wardrobe, this and that. It turns out that so many things to prepare. It gave me headache sometimes. Still, the excitement is here. This is just too good to be true. I am very much grateful. Thank God.

I still need to perfect some matters before everything is on the right track. Hopefully, I'll be able to launch the on-line shop next month (it's 6 days to go actually). Wish me luck.

Ps: The above picture is my clothing label. Yes, I choose Najlazea as my brand.
