shawls for formal dresses

Several days are spent to create this floral batik silk masterpiece. Artisan Yuni Kristina learned the art of Indonesian batik, a UNESCO cultural treasure, from her mother.

Extravagant birds of paradise flourish on a deep ginger shawl. Working in batik on silk, Yuni Kristina creates a wrap of dramatic beauty.

Stars and flowers alternate in green and blue. Covering a silk shawl with beauty, the batik motifs are the creation of Yuni Kristina.

Explore the beauty of the ancient batik technique with a distinguished collection by NOVICA's talented artisans. Directly from the Balinese Islands, the first design to form this curated gift set is from Melati's Collection, consisting of a silk and pinewood fan accented with a leafy crimson pattern made with batik techniques. The accessory is complemented by the same artist's silk shawl, embellished with the same majestic pattern, and presented in a custom case made from wood, linen and satin. As a touch of convenience, Gunadi completes the set with a wadang wood decorative box, whose round shape is ornamented with floral details also made with batik methods.

Designed to represent the beautiful diversity of the world, traditional sekar jagad motifs are featured in this fantastic silk shawl from Bali. Yuni Kristina designs the shawl, applying the tangerine, crimson, and espresso colors by drawing with a wax resist before applying the dyes. Lightweight and fashionable, this exciting accessory is completed with delicate fringes at the ends.

Shimmering shades of blue and cream cover this elegant scarf. Yuni Kristina recreates the parang raja. One of many traditional batik motifs, it symbolizes the ancient Javanese kingdom in general. She stamps the blue patterns in pure silk and adds the red blossoms with the batik motif.
