tan scarf

The wax-resist dyeing technique of batik is found in many cultures, but nowhere is it as renowned as in Java. In this batik scarf from Melati’s Collection, a Javanese garden paradise of turquoise, black, and white flowers decorate a golden background of pure silk.

Melati presents this shawl inside a quality, custom-made gift box.

Red and white lotus blossoms form a floral fantasy on tan silk. With its wide, contrasting borders and narrow fringe, this shawl by Yuni Kristina is a beautiful example of Javanese batik art.

Each motif is created by hand, as evidenced by the occasional pencil mark or slight color variations.
