classy shawls

By Hari and Arthur, this modern shawl is created from luxurious silk. Its motifs in hand painted batik depict leaves in green, gray, white and olive. Due to the nature of the technique, no two shawls are ever identical, as the coloring process depends on the brightness of the sun.

Printed using the traditional stamp batik process, this 100% silk shawl combines traditional methods with timeless style. Designer Yuni Kristina of Indonesia uses the traditional truntum motif in shades of ijo, or green. Thought to have been designed by the Queen Kanjeng Ratu Kencana of the kingdom of Surakarta, the truntum pattern represents unconditional love and appears on this shawl in moss green over an ochre background. Jade colored kawung appear at the center of every truntum motif. Traditionally, the kawung motif represents good will toward human kind and is thought to have been designed by the King of Mataran.

Yuni Kristina draws on millennial Balinese traditions to create this exquisite shawl. Working in batik on silk, she combines modern motifs in red and orange. The elegant patterns are stamped by hand and fringe finishes the lovely wrap.

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

Traditional batik hand stamping and updated classic Indonesian motifs come together in this stunning shawl designed by Yuni Kristina. The truntum motif is believed to have been designed by Kanjeng Ratu Kencana, the Queen of Kasutanan Surakarta. It inspired Yuni Kristina to create the star truntum, featured on this silk wrap in shades of moss and jade on an ochre background. While the traditional truntum is characterized by a flower and dot pattern, the star motif featured on this gorgeous shawl introduces a new batik shape that adds depth to the original design.
