Traditional Indonesian Textiles

Across thousands of islands, Indonesia’s cloth has served as clothing, ceremony, status and memory. This illustrated study by textile specialist John Gillow, with photography by Barry Dawson, looks at Indonesia’s textile traditions through its fabrics, design and costume.

John Gillow has spent over three decades researching, collecting, exhibiting and lecturing on the textiles of India and South-East Asia. This book brings that experience to Indonesia.
