About this fabric
Kawung is built from four ellipses interlocking around a central point, repeating into a grid. Because the pattern is small and regular, kawung is among the easiest motifs to combine with other things. Dyed in sogan tones — the yellow-brown traditionally drawn from soga bark. Cotton at 128 gsm.
Well suited to
- Office shirts and uniforms
- Straight-cut skirts, trousers, and dresses
- Book covers and packaging
Care
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
- Avoid bleach, which turns the sogan brown reddish
- Dry in the shade
- Iron on medium while the cloth is still damp

About the motif
Kawung is one of the oldest recorded motifs in Java and is often linked to the cross-section of a sugar palm fruit. Its thoroughly regular arrangement means it has frequently served as a ground pattern beneath other ornament.
