Tjaps are quite difficult to find in the West. Sources include:

  • friends and travellers returning from Java or Bali
  • good art and craft shops that specialise in batik
  • antique and curio shops that specialise in the East.

Caroline Miller of the USA has bought Tjaps from balitrade@cyberonic.com which she says has good quality wares at reasonable prices, though in small quantity.

Sarah Ferrency says that www.dharmatrading.com is a useful source of Tjaps. The website certainly looks attractive.

If you come across useful suppliers please let me know and I'll post the details here.
