Balinese artisan Dayu Menuhari presents a gorgeous batik scarf diligently crafted by hand. "We don't do any printing or even stamping," she says, "but it's all hand painted and while that makes our production take longer, our products are purely hand-made." Butterflies flit across the rayon scarf's awe-inspiring design in porcelain and geranium hues, which includes a traditional parang pattern at both ends of the accessory. A parang is type of knife, and the use of a parang motif was once reserved solely for Javanese royalty. Fringe on both ends completes the vibrantly-colored wrap scarf.

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.

Whether draped around your neck, styled as a head wrap or elegantly worn as a shawl, this versatile rayon scarf by Java’s Erna Gendhis is a great addition to complement your looks in any season. It is adorned with intricate hand-drawn batik motifs in a bright palette of sea green, crimson, orange, yellow, black and white hues that dance across the fabric, creating a feast for the eyes. The fabulous fringe accents on both ends add a touch of playful elegance to this unique design.

This elegant silk batik scarf is from Melati's Collection in Bali. The scarf is crafted of pure silk in a sunrise orange shade, with an all-over aster print in black. Long fringe in orange and black adorns both ends. The scarf arrives in a handsome gift box crafted of linen-covered wood with a suede accent and a silk lining.

Drape yourself in effortless chic with Erna Gendhis' heavenly batik rayon scarf. Its striking black, pumpkin and white motifs nod to time-honored Javanese craftsmanship yet feel entirely fresh and modern. With delicate fringe finishing on both ends, this gorgeous accessory makes any outfit pop with its signature blend of sophistication and uniqueness.
