Yellow Diamond Design, Hand Dyed Batik, 100% Cotton Kaftan - K084Yellow diamonds across white cotton bright and cheerful, the yellow sits on the warmer side of the spectrum, closer to sunflower than lemon. The diamond grid gives the pattern a crisp, organised feel that the hand dyeing then softens just enough. Where the dye pooled slightly at the wax edges, the yellow deepens into a richer tone. Where the cotton absorbed it more evenly, it stays clean and open. The result is a diamond pattern that has more going on

warm arrangement — the two colours sit close in temperature but read as distinct against each other

The dye settled into the cotton at its own pace

and the overall effect is light and unhurried

while the border runs a geometric triangle pattern along the hem and edges

Where the wax gave fractionally at the turn

The diamond outline in batik is a wax line turned four times at angles

giving the design a structured quality that stands apart from the softer florals and dot patterns in the range

the yellow brightening in the morning and the red deepening in the evening

where the wax tapered

giving the piece a visual weight that settles toward the ground

Each was drawn individually in wax — which means the artisan held the spacing in their head rather than measuring it out

leaf green sits particularly well — the fabric and the colour share an earthiness that feels inherently natural
