Not to mention position bargain economics of Batik Laweyan village also have been exploited by for the sake of political support during cabinet parlementer. The power Combination trade over there also have been pitted against with combination strength trade China, what designed by Dutch.
Last, feather in one's cap of Laweyan Batiks Village really cannot be defended by industrial moment kapitalisasi of batik of during governance of new order. Foreign Investors and patners of New order step into region around Laweyan in Sukoharjo with much more efficient technology printing, quickly, productive massly, and cheap.
This technology clearly not equal batik write and stamp exist in Laweyan. Immediately, Printing Batiks from big capital owner able to master batik market at all points. Laweyan Batiks fail to compete so that feather in one's cap of batik Laweyan omit name.
Any times, rill send batik to Surabaya, refused to be did not stoped. Then I invite my husband to Turi market in Surabaya. Over there I until cannot talk. At all points the batik huddle until this warehouse is luber. Traders over there tell to get Stock from Jakarta, do not have to pay for first such as if buying from us. They gived batik of hundreds of kodi ( 20 pieces ) without having to pay for. Their warehouse until did not load. Seeing is my foot weaken. I weep. Where again we have to sell our product, say Mulyani ( 69) by ear be choked up by and his eye is wet even also.
Hence, at year end at 1994 factory close, with sacrifice of about 100 employees which must be sudden out of job. Mulyani it is possible that one of portrait of Mbok Mase, whereabout she widow from age 39 year and have to enlarge three sons alone. Nowadays third Sons of higher education have and establish economical.
According to she, batik producer in Jakarta with batik printing product able to produce hundreds of kodi one day, whereas batik stamp Laweyan only 20 kodi-30 kodi one day. Even the batik write to own time process one month till the four months.
This fact make orientation of Laweyan People to his childs change. Mulyani, representing third generation one of batik empire in Laweyan own Haryono, Speech, during feather in one's cap of Laweyan batiks, children they educated for the monarchic management of batik own family.
We educated in high kungkungan walls of Laweyan, he said. Almost all house in Laweyan village, it is true have high wall with style of building of art deco. For Them, school needn't have to to high ladder, enough can read, writing, and calculate.
Mbok Mase Laweyan Epoch first have educated her daughter to trade and make batik of since class IV of junior school. Their when putri have passed Secondary School, direct of married and given by the effort by self. Moment of effort batik fail to vie with production printing, hence Laweyan People change over effort to other area and the education as high as possible for child they become important, she said.
During the period till year 2000, the rising generation of Laweyan which seldom remain to continue batik effort own his family. This the rising generation chosen to go through study till the high ladder and work in privat enterprises.
Master it is true non guarantee to live, but only the medium to live. As free as passing the master, youngster of Laweyan ordered by job of outside town. Become, success of child of the rising generation of Laweyan in this time not because of running batik effort, but since working or the other effort, word Mulyani.
Memori of Feather In One'S Stemple of Laweyan Batiks Village in old world make the rising generation in Laweyan wish to awaken to return feather in one's cap memory will that. One of generation of router Batik warehouse, Dr Nanik Perditi, Begining strive to reanimate Batik Laweyan Village.

Since planned, industrial life of batik over there start to write again. Previous, that place such as sleep in the case of batik production. Become, in fact we only animate what have there is. As focus of early, us will instruct this tours expense at batik producer, say Evy.
According she, Solo which before now as biggest producer of batik product earn to reach for feather in one's cap return along with pushing of that town as town of tours expense. He examplize Pekalongan city which initially less expand, but by degrees that town finally can turn into biggest batiks producer.
If in this time tourist buying batik in opened by batik center of resident Laweyan still a few, hence they should be able to hold out for a few the year forwards. If really they feel to lose and exactly close the batik center, hence strive to bring back feather in one's Stemple of Batiks Laweyan village as batik center in Solo become progressively far from expectation, she said.
