Exclusive Parlor Parang Curigo 2022

The meaning of Batik Parang:  none is known more for its illustriousness and prestige than Batik Parang. 

Recognizable through its s-shaped design, batik Parang was once only to be worn by those who had royal bloodline in the Yogyakarta region during the Majapahit empire. Directly translated from “pereng” which means "cliff" or “slope,” the wavy designs illustrate waves breaking against the rock face, symbolizing the perseverance and strength of good character in the face of hardship.

“Curigo” is another word for the traditional keris dagger in Javanese. These intricately carved traditional blades—often crafted from rare metals and meteorites—carry spiritual significance, are passed down as heirlooms and are a symbol of status similar to the batik Parang itself.

The sharpness of the dagger referenced in batik Curigo, represents the sharpness of mind. Those in possession of a keris or curigo were known to be able to use it as a talisman to carry potent powers and wisdom to pass down to future generations.
