presents for moms

Evoking the stunning beauty of a floral garden, lovely feminine designs decorate this fantastic and luxurious silk shawl from Bali. Traditional motifs alongside florals in hues of pumpkin, orchid, and chestnut are applied using the batik method, where a wax resist is stamped onto the silk before it is submerged in colorful dye. Presented as part of Melati's Collection, this shawl arrives in a box with linen and suede accents.

For wrinkles, the artisan recommends ironing the scarf at a low temperature without water. Spray the fringe with water and gently brush it with a comb to remove wrinkles. Let it air dry.
