Batik Garutan is a culture's heritage that raised from the old generation and has developed long before the time of independence. Batik Garutan reached its popularity in between 1967 sd 1985, but then developments of the production has been decreased due to the rapid printing batik industries, lack of interest in the next generation, unavailability of materials and capital, and poor marketing strategies.
Batik fabric is not only commonly used for "Sinjang", but also clothes and more. The Pattern of Batik Garutan forms a reflection of social and cultural life, philosophy of life, and customs of the Sundanese. Some embodiments of Batik Garutan can be described visually through the motif and color.
Based on the rationale behind the creation of Batik Garutan, the patterns are presented as geometric shape characteristic variety of dressing. Other forms of Batik Garutan motifs are flora and fauna. The basic geometrical shape leads to a geometric line forming diagonal and "kawung" pattern or rhombus with a beige color combined with other bright colors as the most dominant colors.
