gorgeous scarves

Balinese artisan Dayu Menuhari presents a gorgeous batik scarf diligently crafted by hand. "We don't do any printing or even stamping," she says, "but it's all hand painted and while that makes our production take longer, our products are purely hand-made." Butterflies flit across the rayon scarf's awe-inspiring design in porcelain and geranium hues, which includes a traditional parang pattern at both ends of the accessory. A parang is type of knife, and the use of a parang motif was once reserved solely for Javanese royalty. Fringe on both ends completes the vibrantly-colored wrap scarf.

Celebrating the stylish beauty of gradient stripes, Ana Fernandez of Peru designs a gorgeous and sumptuously soft 100% alpaca knit scarf. The vertical stripes of light mushroom brown, pumpkin orange, and boysenberry overlap and blend together for a rich look. The scarf is finished with fringe.
