Sarimbit: A Guide to Matching Couple Batik

Sarimbit is a matching pair of batik worn by husband and wife (or a couple), generally for traditional events, weddings, or family photos. This article covers considerations for choosing sarimbit.

When sarimbit is worn

Sarimbit is common for the akad, reception, or family celebrations as a symbol of the couple's match. The same fabric is paired with models suited to each side.

Motif and colour

Pick the same or harmonious motif and colour so the pair reads as a set. Calm motifs like udan liris or a specific motif can be made through custom batik.

Fabric

Match the material to each side's model; cotton or primissima are generally comfortable. See options on our fabric materials and price list pages.

Ordering sarimbit

Set the motif, colour, and the couple's sizes, then consult on design. Our bulk sewing service is on the batik convection page. Related: wedding uniforms and family uniforms.
