About
Melanie Orr has been interested in fashion and design since she was a school girl. Originally from the Indonesian island Java
Melanie began making her own dresses as soon as she was old enough to handle a sewing machine.
Her coveted creations were well recognized in her hometown, including her
adaptation of her school uniform to give it much needed flare.After finishing school, Melanie made a brief foray into the travel industry before taking time off to start a family.
It was over the last four years, in between shuttling her kids to preschool and making costumes for themed events that Melanie found herself again thinking about design, rekindling the schoolgirl dream.
Returning to her passion and first love – design – Melanie thought about introducing the unique Indonesian art tradition of batik to people in Hong Kong.
She also wanted to give small artisanal businesses in Indonesia a chance to grow.
This led her to explore her own line of clothing and accessories.
The Melanie Orr Batik Collection is Melanie’s inaugural
release of handmade leather bags adorned with batik and
magnificently colorfully dresses.
