gorgeous shawls

Celebrating the beauty of traditional kawung batik motifs, Balinese artisan Yuni Kristina designs this fine silk shawl with a floral border in fuchsia, burgundy, and black over a body of ecru. Filled with beautiful azalea motifs, this entrancing shawl is finished with long, elegant fringes at each end.

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.

The world bursts into bloom with the arrival of spring, enticing butterflies to fragrant flowers. Its enchantment is captured in mesmerizing batik motifs. From Melati's Collection, this extraordinary shawl is created of pure silk. The elegant wrap is beautifully presented in a custom made gift box.

Working with ancestral textile craft techniques, Yuni Kristina depicts Java's trumtum motif. It covers a blue silk scarf, stamped by hand and embellished with batik. A symbol of awakening love, it refers to a queen who felt neglected when the king took a mistress. She took up batik, creating stars in the dark sky, stars that became her friends. The king was so impressed with her batik that he rediscovered his great love for his wife.

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.
