Bali's Agus Suryanto designs a shirt for men ideal for casual elegance. In cool hand-woven cotton from Lombok Island, the white short-sleeved shirt is adorned with wavy patterns achieved through hand-stamped batik on the button placket in blue and white. The shirt features a chest pocket and fastens with six buttons.

By Desak Nyoman Parwati, three elegant rayon face masks are covered with lace. A favorite with fashionable Balinese women, lace is the fabric of choice for the kebaya, a short jacket worn over a top. Beadwork and embroidery, all applied by hand, add a touch of feminine glamour. Contoured for comfort, the double-layer set features one in white, one in black and one in neutral grey. They are washable and reusable, and have elastic to loop over the ears.

Placement of the lace motifs can vary but the fabric will be the same.

This stylish small shoulder bag is the work of Ahmad in Bali. The compact purse is crafted of woven bamboo and vinyl cords, and features attractive faux leather trim and straps.

Because the artisan uses fabric remnants, the cotton lining color and pattern can vary, making each bag a unique work of handcrafted art.
