This is a great shawl, nice and light for summer use when you just need a little something over your shoulders. The workmanship is of good quality also. I'm getting a nice collection of shawls and scarfs and thanks to Novice can shop around the world.

My wife started collecting batik when we lived in Jakarta. The collection is now quite large and she has given lectures on batik - to Indonesians, among others. She was thrilled by the scarf - wonderfully executed.
You can find our silk batik shawl 'Butterfly Bliss' by Yuni Kristina in accessories categories such as Floral Shawls, Animal Themed Shawls, Batik Shawls and Silk Shawls. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
