The Lumbatik Collection

These bags are lovingly made locally with Malaysian batik fabric. 'Lumbatik' is an original designed batik fabric by MareCet. The name 'Lumbatik' is derived from the combination of the words lumba-lumba (meaning dolphin in the Malay language) and batik. The batik design is inspired by the dolphin species that we study - the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, and traditional motifs in Peninsular Malaysia where we work. Lumbatik is made in Kuala Perlis, a coastal area on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, where we study and conserve the dolphins.

The bags come in three colours:

• Sousa pink

This colour is inspired by the colour of the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) that we study - the dolphins are born grey and turn mottled pink or completely pink as they mature

​

• Samudera blue

Samudera means ocean in the Malay language. This colour comprises the colours of the ocean - different shades of blue with a hint of green

​

• Monsoon Sky

This colour is inspired by the dramatic stormy sky over the sea during monsoon season

The Doodle Collection

These products are handmade by the local women in Sibu Island, Johor, Malaysia. The place is where we have been conducting research and conservation efforts on the endangered dugongs since 2014. The doodle design of the fabric features four of the marine mammal species that we study - Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, Irrawaddy dolphins, dugongs and Bryde's whales. By purchasing these products, you are supporting our conservation efforts for marine mammals and the island womenfolk livelihood development and empowerment in Malaysia.
