I love this scarf because it's beautiful, yet so light and thin that it fits in my purse, so I can have it with me at all times. Whenever I feel a little chilly, I just pull it out and wrap it around my neck for instant coziness.

This scarf is gorgeous! The blue shimmers and is vibrant--a true royal blue color. The batik pattern is lovely. the scarf is also very light weight so it can be tucked in a pocket or purse for cool summer evenings. Excellent craftsmanship.

"My mother is my inspiration. She and I still design together, especially the floral and bird motifs that are typical in Pekalongan batik.”
