Yes they are indeed from Bali! I guess when the addiction is so bad ...you have to go to the source!!! Yes the prices were cheaper ...$2.50 per meter! It was an incredible trip .. I toured the Hoffman facilities were batiks are made, as well as the shipping site where all the batiks are brought and inspected and packaged for transport to the US. Even got to see where the cut the "pre- cuts" and package them.. It was an amazing trip. I can't bring myself to co-mingle my "Bali" stash with my other stash. Maybe I need a special "locker" with a glass front ! For now I just keep smiling when I see them all.
