everyday shawl

Traditional methods and timeless style join forces on this breathtaking shawl designed by Indonesian artisan Yuni Kristina. She uses a stamp batik process on 100% silk to craft shawls that evoke the rich cultural history of Bali and Java. The truntum motif takes center stage in shades of biru, or blue. Thought to have been designed by the Queen Kanjeng Ratu Kencana of the kingdom of Surakarta, the truntum pattern represents unconditional love and appears on this shawl in teal over a celadon background. Caribbean blue colored kawung appear at the center of every truntum motif. Traditionally, the kawung motif represents good will toward human kind and is thought to have been designed by the King of Mataran.

Made Arsana of Bali weaves a colorful and lightweight cotton shawl, perfect for both casual and sophisticated looks. Stripes in both directions accent blocks of color in dusty mauve, denim blue, and vanilla. The wrap is finished with a delicate fringe.

Stars and flowers alternate in green and blue. Covering a silk shawl with beauty, the batik motifs are the creation of Yuni Kristina.

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.
