pacific blue dresses

Designed by Galuh Kenanga in Bali, this beautiful sundress showcases Indonesian hand-stamped batik. Traditional motifs flow across fields of turquoise in a frock to wear all summer long. It features a fitted bodice, elasticized back and pleats that are stitched to the hip. With convenient pockets at each side, the dress is graceful and lovely. It slips over the head and the straps tie at the shoulder.

Handwoven cotton brings beauty to face masks for the whole family. By Desak Nyoman Parwati, the set includes two large and two small masks. They are created with the traditional ikat technique in which the threads are tie-dyed to create the motifs before they are woven by hand. Beautiful in Pacific blue, all four masks are washable and reusable, and have loops to fit over the ears.

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

Artisans at the Mutiara Collection select blue topaz, the gem of empathy and the birthstone of December, to crown the stunning design of this ring. The 2-carat gem is glorious in a sterling silver ring that is crafted by hand.

Haloed on a serene sea of Pacific blue, abstract motifs appear in the intricate tonalities of batik. Nyoman Nadri creates this graceful rayon robe with wide sleeves and a matching belt. In traditional kimono style, the robe features openings under the arms for adjusting the robe and for ease of movement.

Batik is a fabric art in which the cloth is stretched on a wooden frame and the design sketched with a pencil. Then a mixture of melted wax is painted by hand onto areas where color is not desired. When the fabric is crumpled into the dying solution, the wax cracks, creating an attractive network of fine lines. The wax is removed and the process is repeated for each color utilized. Finally, the cloth is washed and rinsed to remove any excess dye.

This hand-painted batik robe is a truly original work of art. Sunlight, water, dye and temperature all factor into the look of the finished garment. This should be considered a unique design made especially for you. Colors and pattern placement will vary.
