LIMITED SIGNED HAND PAINTED SARONGS, PAREOS, KANGA, TOGA, WRAPS, SHAWLS.
We had these outstanding sarongs painted especially for us in a village near Ubud located in Bali, Indonesia. Each piece is different, unique, completely hand-drawn, and hand-painted (with the use of wax as a divider of colors, a process that dates from past centuries) and signed by the known artist that designed and painted it. We ordered specific tropical motifs in small quantities created specifically for us (and let the artist improvise from there) so they would be few of each pattern (from 1 only, to 5 pieces total), making them more unique.
The artists that hand painted them for us are some of the best in Bali, with an extremely great sense of design, color combination and detail, the result being these one-of-a-kind outstanding pieces that you will not find anywhere else. These are high quality pieces, not the average wrap-around. The painting process is time consuming and an exercise in accuracy as dripping often occurs in spite of the wax dividers. Enjoy this unique and very decorative work of art.
Sarongs are many things to many people. Throughout history the world has known the sarong by different names as well.
For instance, the people from the South Pacific islands of Tahiti and Hawaii call sarongs, "Pareos", in the Southeast Asian countries of Indonesia , Thailand, Malyasia, and the Phillipinnes it's called a "Surong", in India a similar garment is named "Sri" and Africa they call it a "Kanga". In ancient times of Rome and Greece it was named a "Toga".
