Silk Square Batik Scarf

Miao batik or la ran (蜡染), from Guizhou, China, is a wax-resist dyeing technique that has been around since the Qin and Han dynasties. The pattern is drawn onto the fabric with melted beeswax which acts as a dye resist during the natural indigo dyeing process.

The scarf on display features geometric batik patterns and lively “ice cracks” which is achieved through the natural cracking from the dried wax. This piece is also very versatile, as you may wear it as a neck scarf, hair tie, or even as an accessory for your purses.
