Yuni Kristina, working with her mother and her husband, specializes in Indonesian batik. She designs this shawl in 100% silk. It is printed in the batik style, where a wax resist is used to stamp the designs on the piece before submerging it in a vat of dye. This wrap features elegantly detailed truntum star motifs in tangerine, sand, peach, and ivory colors. Truntum is a traditional Javanese pattern, modified by the artisan for a more contemporary design.
