Luscious forest foliage caressed by tropical breezes inspires this elegant wrap. By Yuni Kristina, the shawl is crafted of shimmering silk. She stamps the batik motifs by hand.

By Yuni Kristina, this extraordinary shawl features ornate motifs from Java's wealth of historic art. She creates a patchwork pattern in hand-stamped batik on luxurious silk. The design takes its name from Java's Sarangan Lake.

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.

Classic Javanese batik patterns inspire this elegant silk shawl. Yuni Kristina selects the kawung, an eight-pointed rosette once reserved for the sultan, and the triangular tumpal pattern for this design. These motifs once adorned men's formal clothing during the ancient Javanese Kingdom and symbolize dignity, self-respect and self-esteem.

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

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.

Designed by Dewa De Wardana, this elegant blue and white shawl is colored with dyes derived from organically farmed indigo. Talented artisans work in hand stamped batik on sheer silk chiffon.
