Kampoeng Batik Laweyan

KAMPOENG BATIK LAWEYAN - Menyusuri Kampoeng Batik nan Eksotik

Laweyan, sebuah kampung tua yang memiliki sejarah lebih panjang daripada Surakarta sendiri. Sudah ada sejak jaman Kerajaan Pajang pada abad XIV, Laweyan dulu adalah pusat perdagangan pakaian. Namanya berasal dari kata "lawe", berarti benang dari kapas yang dipintal. Seorang sesepuh desa bernama Kyai Ageng Henis adalah orang yang bisa dibilang paling berjasa bagi kemajuan daerah ini. Beliau tidak hanya mengajarkan ilmu agama, namun juga mengajarkan ilmu dan seni membatik pada masyarakat sekitar. Seni batik ini terus berkembang pesat hingga sekarang.

Bagi yang ingin belajar membatik, jangan khawatir karena ada paket kursus singkat yang juga tersedia.
Masuk semakin dalam, tembok-tembok tua dan tinggi berdiri kokoh mengapit gang sempit. Dibaliknya berdiri istana para saudagar batik tempo dulu. Pada masa kejayaannya beberapa ratus tahun yang lalu para saudagar batik ini memang kaya raya, bahkan melebihi kekayaan para bangsawan kraton. Dengan kekayaannya itu, mereka berlomba-lomba membangun istananya masing-masing. Sebagian besar usaha para saudagar ini masih diteruskan oleh generasi berikutnya hingga sekarang. Memasuki showroom batik mereka, kita akan mendapatkan bonus tersendiri.
