presents for her

Deep azure and strawberry red collide on Galuh Kenanga's gorgeous collared shirt. Crafted by Balinese artisans from 100% rayon, the blouse features a hand-stamped batik motif in vibrant colors, long sleeves, and a row of buttons from collar to hemline.

Accented with fuchsia, the delicate lavender of jacaranda blossoms swirls in a Balinese sea of blue. Crafted by Desak Nyoman Parwati, this brilliant one-size-fits-most robe is an original batik motif she calls cakrawala, which means "atmosphere." The flattering front-wrap style, wide sleeves and matching belt make this rayon robe a perennial favorite.

This handpainted batik robe is a truly original work of art. Sunlight, water, dye and temperature all factor into the look of the finished robe. This should be considered a unique design made especially for you. Colors and pattern placement will vary.

Bali's Made Suciati presents this tone-on-tone rayon top in candy apple red that features a floral motif augmented by intricate openwork and hand embroidery around the neck, sleeves, and hem. The V-neck top has cap sleeves with a freeform edge that matches the neckline and hem.
