My wife started collecting batik when we lived in Jakarta. The collection is now quite large and she has given lectures on batik - to Indonesians, among others. She was thrilled by the scarf - wonderfully executed.
You can find our silk batik shawl 'Blue Sarangan' by Yuni Kristina in accessories categories such as Batik Shawls and Silk Shawls. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
