Tanned leather dyeing with Batik Method has been observed with the use of chrome tanned goat leather material. Tanned dyeing generally produces less variable homogenous color without motives. The dyeing with Batik Method has produced various and patterned tanned leathers. Changes in the use of media from textiles to leather on dyeing batik method will cause a lot of problems that must be resolved is the solution. Especially on the stages of the process are: sticking batik wax and dyeing. Two stages are involved.
