Inspired by fall, Balinese artisan Endah creates this fascinating sundress. Crafted from silky rayon, the dress is decorated using the batik method; a wax resist is stamped by hand onto the fabric before it is treated with colorful dyes, resulting in elegant snow white vines against a body of midnight. The dress is characterized by spaghetti straps and a knee-length skirt.

Reminiscent of a cool and refreshing breeze, this graceful V-neck blouse features a hand-stamped floral batik motif depicting kenanga, the flowers of the ylang-ylang tree. This entrancing blouse designed by Galuh Kenanga of Bali features a high-low hem and short sleeves.

Desak Nyoman Parwati creates a stylish sleeveless dress that evokes the beauty of a leafy forest path in Bali. Blue and green leaves are created through a traditional hand-stamped batik process on tie-dye fabric for rich and complex color nuances. Ideal for casual wear to the market or for a stroll, the versatile design features convenient side pockets.
