winter facemasks

By Desak Nyoman Parwati, three elegant rayon face masks are covered with lace. A favorite with fashionable Balinese women, lace is the fabric of choice for the kebaya, a short jacket worn over a top. Beadwork and embroidery, all applied by hand, add a touch of feminine glamour. Contoured for comfort, the double-layer set features one in dusty cedar, one in cashmere rose and one in cherry red. They are washable and reusable, and have elastic to loop over the ears.

Evoking the sky at dawn, light teal stripes flow across an amethyst-colored background. Colorful cotton is woven on a backstrap loom to become an attractive pair of face masks with unique handwoven textures. Artisans from Creative Hands of Oaxaca craft the contoured masks with elastic bands to stretch around the head. They are double-layered and are both washable and reusable.

Colorful cotton lends a casual style to contoured face masks by Jamriang. Navy blue plaid and grey stripes are fashioned into large masks while a pastel green check and lime green striped fabric make smaller masks. Each one has three layers of fabric as well as a double layered cotton lining with an opening so you may insert a protective layer of tissue or paper towels. All are both washable and reusable, and feature elastic to loop over the ears.

Lavish floral embroidery brings a touch of beauty to cotton face masks from Bali. Made Suciati crafts the contoured masks in pink, burgundy, and a yellow print with covered elastic that loops around the ears. They are triple-layered yet lightweight for breathability, and are both washable and reusable.
