Blue suggests serenity and evokes an island setting. Novica artisans craft a set of three single-layer cotton face masks with three pleats for comfort.

Indonesian artisan Yuni Kristina presents this stunning shawl, resplendent in shades of jade, teal, and Caribbean blue. Hand-stamped using the traditional batik process, the silk wrap features the kawung motif, believed to have originated with the King of Mataran and to represent good will toward all. The truntum motif, a symbol of unconditional love, appears in the corner of each kawung, and the tumpal motif graces the ends of the shawl.
