The Warisan dUCk. As I ran my fingers through the design, I folded it with a smile. The kain batik, tucked in my closet, a treasure passed on to me by Mom which was passed from Grandma. The memories it holds between every weave, it has witnessed the journey of the women in my generation from the mundane everyday activities to enveloping them with comfort during their confinements.
Oh, the stories these pieces could tell! This heirloom has become my object of affection, something to make me feel close to my roots. The team and I were inspired by it to create The Warisan dUCk.
We brought back the itik pulang petang batik motif, which symbolizes unity of people on their journey back home together – much like us, dUCkies! The flowers have dUCk as the center, and the butterflies depict us flying to reach our dreams but always coming back home. Some have jewels as heirlooms, some have photos. For my family, it's this traditional piece of kain batik - a symbol of our roots and where we came from. I'll be proud to one day pass it on to my own daughter.
Love, D.
