By Saktut Raitawati of Bali, this cotton men's short sleeve shirt will be a favorite for its style and ease. The pattern on the handcrafted batik shirt is a playful array of varying squares and rectangles on a field of midnight blue.

Designed by Galuh Kenanga in Bali, this beautiful sundress showcases Indonesian hand-stamped batik. Traditional motifs flow across fields of turquoise in a frock to wear all summer long. It features a fitted bodice, elasticized back and pleats that are stitched to the hip. With convenient pockets at each side, the dress is graceful and lovely. It slips over the head and the straps tie at the shoulder.

Traditional Batik fabrics are patchworked together by expert artisan Desak Nyoman Parwati. Strategically placed leafy and floral motifs in a palette of cerulean, mint, grape and black hues come together to create this flowy A-line tank dress, complete with side pockets. Motif's and color placement may vary slightly due to the use of upcycled fabrics from the artisans studio.

Cool hues of royal blue and meadow green merge and mingle in a floral pattern created using hand-stamped batik methods. Designer Galuh Kenanga uses the silky rayon batik fabric to create a beautiful shirtdress that features classic styling and a hi-low hemline. Coconut shell buttons close the dress and chest pockets and secure the roll-tab sleeves if desired. A back yoke and wide self-tie belt ensure a comfortable and shapely fit.

This enchanting tank tunic dress beautifully brings together elements from nature fashioned through handmade batik techniques. Balinese artisan Desak Nyoman Parwati’s chic design is also eco-friendly, as it is crafted from leftover rayon textiles that otherwise would have been discarded, thus reducing waste. The fashionable patchwork dress boasts colorful vine, leaf and dragonfly motifs in a vibrant palette of azure, teal, chartreuse, white and wisteria shades. With a flowy, relaxed fit and side seasm pockets, it's a perfect throw-on-and-go style for the season. Motif's and color placement may vary slightly due to the upcycled nature of this style.
