In the midst of increasing market competition in the batik industry in Indonesia, the role of branding strategy must be considered by every batik entrepreneur. The use of handwritten batik signatures on batik fabrics has been a classic, long-standing branding approach in batik, and as one of the batik houses that has been active for almost 100 years in Indonesia, Oey Soe Tjoen has also made efforts in their branding strategy with this method. This research aims to analyze the handwritten signature on batik fabric as a branding strategy for traditional batik fabrics in Indonesia, particularly Oey Soe Tjoen, and its influence on consumers’ purchase intention. This study implements a mixed-methodological approach which consists of qualitative and quantitative methods. The results are in the form of qualitative data on the handwritten signature analysis through interview and observation, while the quantitative data are analyzed as to its effect on consumers’ purchase intention, using the multiple regression analysis. Based on the research, the use of handwritten signature on batik fabrics has a significant effect on customer’s purchase intention. The objective of this research is to be a reference for more batik entrepreneurs in Indonesia to draw upon and further consider the implementation of handwritten signature as a branding strategy. This research aspires to also have an impact on increasing the competitiveness of the Indonesian traditional batik industry, locally and internationally.
