casual shawls

Several days are spent to create this floral batik silk masterpiece. Artisan Yuni Kristina learned the art of Indonesian batik, a UNESCO cultural treasure, from her mother.

The talented Alaya Cholprasertsuk of Thailand presents this charming cotton batik scarf. The artisan meticulously creates the colorful elephants using the ancient art of batik, which uses wax resistance techniques to create patterns on fabric.

Yuni Kristina depicts an emerald garden on a lovely silk shawl. A superb example of batik art, the wrap is a study in casual elegance.

Each motif is created by hand, as evidenced by the occasional pencil mark or slight color variations.

Shimmering shades of blue and cream cover this elegant scarf. Yuni Kristina recreates the parang raja. One of many traditional batik motifs, it symbolizes the ancient Javanese kingdom in general. She stamps the blue patterns in pure silk and adds the red blossoms with the batik motif.

Let yourself be swept away by the beauty of this exquisite scarf crafted from rayon, adorned with fringe accents on both ends and featuring a color combination that evokes the ocean under a starry night. The fabulous hand-drawn batik designs by Java's Erna Gendhis bring a touch of creativity and flair to the scarf while the shades of Caribbean blue, grey, light olive, teal, white and black create a stunning contrast that is sure to turn heads. Wear it as a scarf, shawl or in any other way whether you're dressing up for a formal event or adding an elegant touch to a casual outfit.

Vivid green and rich blue come together in this striking pair of crinkled cotton scarves, offering endless ways to style them. Whether worn alone or layered, their airy texture and handwoven detail bring a casual elegance to any outfit. Finished with delicate fringes, each scarf carries the artistry of Thai artisan Vinita and the beauty of traditional batik tie-dyeing.
