Ekram Faiz

Driven by a passion to keep Malaysia’s batik heritage alive, Ekram Faiz left engineering to co-found Kapten Batik and shake up the menswear scene. He’s reimagined batik as bold, everyday fashion—turning a traditional craft into a contemporary statement. From launching at weekend bazaars to opening boutiques nationwide, Ekram’s focus on sustainable materials, inventive design and local artisanship has made Kapten Batik a trailblazer for both style and eco-consciousness.
