The ancient tradition of batik art meets with up-to-the-moment style in this beautiful women's blouse. The purple floral print is created by hand on soft woven rayon using time-honored techniques. Artisan Galuh Kenanga of Bali keeps it contemporary with a hi-low shirttail hemline, roll-tab sleeves, and an open neckline with a notched collar. Coconut shell buttons complete the design, while a back yoke ensures a flattering and comfortable fit.

From Thai artisan Dararat Chantapireepun, this long-sleeved tie-neck blouse is designed for an airy, comfortable fit. Navy blue and semi-sheer, the polyester chiffon shirt features delicate lines of lace trim along the front and the shoulders. The sleeves can also be rolled up and fastened with tabs in warmer weather.

The colorful genus of flowers known as "lily of the Incas" was the inspiration for the hand-embroidered design of this organic cotton blouse. Peruvian artisans hand-stitch a handful of petite flowers along with a wealth of soutache embroidery and crocheted lace details at the bust and cuffs. Button-and-loop closures and a V-neck collar make this blouse perfect for work or weekends.
