Born and bred Los Angeles artist Javier Granados designs and makes beautiful one-of-a-kind wearable art silk scarves. All the scarves are individually hand painted using the ancient batik method.

 

Batik is a method of painting fabric that  has been used for more than a thousand years. Batik is a long multi-step process that incorporates melted hot wax to draw all the lines with a special wax pen tool. The wax acts as a resist to prevent the color dyes from mixing. The fabric is then stretched and carefully painted using special brushes and dyes. Finally the silk fabric is submerged into boiling water to remove the waxed lines leaving a white outline where the wax was applied.

 

The Dreamluxe silk scarf collection is inspired by world travel, art, and nature.
