lavender shawl

Said to represent the hope that humans will always remember their origins, the kawung batik pattern was once reserved solely for the royal family. In an original design, Java's Yuni Kristina combines a floral pattern and soft colors for a splendid silk shawl with a light and airy feel.

Blooming on an expanse of sheer white silk chiffon, lavender orchids whisper of Bali. Designed by Dewa De Wardana, this exquisite lightweight shawl is painted by hand and signed. Slight variations are to be expected, as each one is individually handcrafted and therefore unique.

Working with ancestral textile craft techniques, Yuni Kristina depicts colorful blossoms. They cover an elegant dusty lavender silk shawl, stamped and painted by hand in the batik technique.

This breathtaking silk batik shawl is from Melati's Collection in Bali. The white silk is printed with an all-over floral motif in iris, orchid and black. Long lavender and black fringe completes the design, which is named Teratai, an Indonesian word for "lotus flower". The shawl arrives in an elegant gift box crafted of linen-covered wood with a suede accent and a silk lining.
