batik art design

Throw this colorful shift dress on when you need a jolt of excitement in your day. Designed by Bali's Wayan Arta and Sharon, the short dress is crafted from soft rayon and features a relaxed fit with short sleeves and an intriguing wrap overlay. The artisans use a batik dyeing process to create a soft floral motif all over the dress.

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.

Java’s nature blooms in the middle of a batik-embellished scarf by Yuni Kristina. Jade, crimson, and redwood hues spread their elegant tones around this silk garment, exquisitely made with a folk art-inspired pattern and fringes as lightweight as the scarf’s drape. To complete the illusion, a cotton blend gift box arrives with the design.

Long, delicate fringes complete the scarf at each end.
