By Desak Nyoman Parwati, three elegant rayon face masks are covered with lace. A favorite with fashionable Balinese women, lace is the fabric of choice for the kebaya, a short jacket worn over a top. Beadwork and embroidery, all applied by hand, add a touch of feminine glamour. Contoured for comfort, the double-layer set features one in dusty cedar, one in cashmere rose and one in cherry red. They are washable and reusable, and have elastic to loop over the ears.

A hint of embroidery elevates a casual, yet timelessshort sleeve blouse by Balinese designer Made Suciati. Using a traditional embroidery technique called kerawang, the neckline, sleeve and hem are finished with a free-form scalloped edge. Elegant enough to be worn alone, it’s a perfect layering top under your favorite jacket or cardigan.

Capturing the beauty of Indonesian handicrafts, this handle handbag is designed by Balinese artisan Anita Jo. The black cotton handbag features exquisite hand embroidery in carnation and ivory that creates swirl and crescent patterns in the traditional style of the Banda Aceh province, which was hit by a devastating tsunami in 2004. Opening with a zipper, the handbag reveals a black lined interior, complete with a zipper pocket on one side for storing small items.
