Kemben (Javanese: ꦏꦼꦩ꧀ꦧꦼꦤ꧀, Indonesian: kemban) is an Indonesian female torso wrap historically common in Java, Bali, and other parts of the Indonesian archipelago. It is made by wrapping a piece of kain (clothes), either plain, batik printed, velvet, or any type of fabrics, covering the chest wrapped around the woman's torso.
