open necklace

Leafy branches blossom throughout this beige and black tunic by Indian designer Ritu Agnihotri. Featuring discreet lateral slits, the cotton tunic features myriad patterns that are printed by hand with wooden blocks. Featuring ¾ long bell sleeves, the tunic features hidden hooks-and-eyes under the jewel neckline, allowing it to open.

The ancient tradition of batik art meets with up-to-the-moment style in this beautiful women's blouse. The purple floral print is created by hand on soft woven rayon using time-honored techniques. Artisan Galuh Kenanga of Bali keeps it contemporary with a hi-low shirttail hemline, roll-tab sleeves, and an open neckline with a notched collar. Coconut shell buttons complete the design, while a back yoke ensures a flattering and comfortable fit.

Inspired by textiles from Thailand's Lisu Hill Tribes, Chattima fuses cultures in this elegant navy jacket. Made from a cotton and hemp blend the open jacket highlights Lisu Strips on the cuffs and front opening. This traditional textile is made by overlapping and folding thin strips of brightly colored fabric producing an applique patchwork that is applied to clothing. Chattima sympathetically combines this with hand stamped indigo fabric inserts on the cuff from the Hmong tribe and hand made silk rozettes on the placket. A single hand tied robe button finishes the neckline.

A myriad of mandalas composed of azure, claret and honey leaves go all over a sophisticated design by Aftab from India. Working with cotton, the artisan creates this gorgeous cotton robe featuring printed motifs on a beige base hue, enhancing the design's elegance. With an open front, the garment also has long sleeves, pockets on each side and a convenient matching belt that will help you feel the piece's cozy embrace. As the final touch, Aftab adds dark red piping to the neckline, front opening and cuffs, enriching the pattern's vibrant essence.
