NOVICA Cotton batik sarong, 'Hmong Butterfly'

NOVICA Cotton batik sarong, 'Hmong Butterfly' Review



This elegant sarong from Simone Buys is rich in cultural meaning for it is dyed and hand-stamped by people from the Blue Hmong hill tribe. The men make the batik stamps that women use for decorating the cotton sarong. According to Blue Hmong beliefs they are descendants of the Butterfly who created everything on earth. Batik art is a renowned legacy of the Blue Hmong people.
