Vinita batik accessories
"Hello, My name is Vinita Tongtawat. My first name comes from the combination of my father's (Pinit) and my mother's (Viboonwan) names. Although my name is not defined in the dictionary, I'm very proud of this name. It is the name given by my parents with their love. I was born in Lampang, then moved on to study in Chiang Mai and when I finished high school, I went to study at the College of Fine Arts in Bangkok and completed my bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Fine Art, Silpakorn University. Here I discovered my true identity — I express myself through tangible art, especially by creating unique colors with batik apparel.
"My thesis was on batik textiles with a very good combination of colors. It was very beautiful and lively. My work was selected for publication on a pamphlet for The Student's Thesis Work. Much of my beautiful work was purchased by Austrians. All of my pieces selected for exhibition were sold out. I was very grateful for the success I achieved through this.
"After graduating in 1983, I married my husband who was a student at my same university. I started to work for a home décor company in Bangkok as a designer. By 1989, we had a small son and daughter, and we decided to follow our dreams for our children to grow in a land of peace, beauty and with a simple lifestyle. Chiang Mai is the city that offered us what we were looking for, plus it is also the center Thai of handicrafts so I started working for a big exporter of saa paper when we moved here.
"I worked there for some time and then I quit to start my own venture focusing on textile arts. I have the ability to make a good selection of colors for dyeing fibers. The color combinations are beautiful and definitely reflect my identity as well. At the beginning, I studied the color absorbing qualities of each type of fiber in order to get beautiful, stable colors. Some fabrics require pretreatment before dyeing. After that, I started dyeing fabric by doing a few pieces at a time, boiling them in a small old pot.
"Once I made sure that I could get beautiful and stable colors, then I started to experiment with techniques to add texture to the fabric, like waxed batik, tie-dye and stitching. I constantly produce new colors to complete my stock. My designs received good response from people who loved my work. They started to place orders.
"I started with a small pot for dyeing and eventually moved to a big pan with a diameter about the spread of human arms. The one important thing for me is to always mix the dyeing colors myself to get the right color. Before dyeing, I check every piece of fabric to make sure that it is good quality with no defect at all.
"Since I studied art, the very first lot of my production reflected quite a lot about myself. I sometimes forget to think about the market demand. My client was trying to help by telling what the market trend was. I tried to change and produce to meet the needs of the market.
"I am very happy with what I have achieved so far. When asked about any challenges to overcome, I would say that I never have any obstacles. I think I do what I can do and don't force things that aren't ready or things that I cannot do. That way my work can run smoothly.
"Every day, the first thing I do in the morning is pay my respects to Buddha. Then I walk to the small garden at the center of my house, prepare breakfast, chat with family, then go to work. My husband has a small studio where he paints. I have a small area for my fabric work. I'm getting older now and my venture is stable, and I have my daughter who graduated from art school as well to help me take care it.
"Now I have more time to work on what I love — waxed drawing and coloring to make batik. It is the same art work I did when I was studying. My family is a family of artists, my husband and my children are art graduates. When we are together, it is a very happy time. Our happiness is expressed in our art work. Now my daughter and I have joined you. Hopefully we will get a warm welcome from all of you. Thank you."

My wife loves Vinita's cotton scarves. She has some in different colors. This white one is very stylish, contrasting with her clothing colors. She loves them, not only because they're casual but also slightly warm for the air conditioning in the summer time. Also, because they're not itchy despite her skin rashes issues.

I have often paired two scarves myself for various reasons-- fabric combinations or colors or warmth. This is a pair of lightweight, versatile cotton scarves, one transitions from dark gray to light gray and back, the other a batik design that is gray and black with an almost purple timber, beautiful.

This scarf is a simple humble fabric with a beautiful dye color. But its true value is in how absolutely comfortable and perfect it is for all day wear. I can tie it over a t shirt to look a bit more dressy ..and it stays put all day long. Very comfortable and breathable! And I never have to fuss with it. It just stays in place looking terrific. So, I just ordered a second color.

The black shawl is exactly what I was looking for. The fabric is beautiful and can be worn in many ways.

This is wonderful Silk Scarf for the Spring & Autumn Weather. If you wish a splash of colour with off-whites and grey wardrobe, this is a wonderful accessory unnatural fabric to pair with.

I've searched for a scarf such as this one for so many years and could barely believe my luck when I found it here. This is a beautiful piece of wearable art. I'm so incredibly grateful to the artisan for making such an airy, simple and elegant garment that effortlessly dresses up any outfit. It's one of those pieces that makes you look pulled together without trying too hard. It also will be great for summer to keep my neck from getting a chill in air conditioning.Make sure you gently hand wash before wearing as the cotton tends to shed a bit at first.

I've carried a jewelry bag for years that has finally fallen apart. When I saw this one, I knew I had to have it because it's constructed exactly like the one I had, and it's way prettier. I love the fabric and it has plenty of pockets for keeping items separated and safely stowed. It seems to be very well made. I was surprised to find an additional zipper at the very top that opens up a compartment that's the entire length of the bag--this is an excellent place to tuck a light scarf or delicate hosiery to protect them from damage in a suitcase or travel bag.I would seriously consider buying this as a gift for anyone else who travels or for someone like a crafter or knitter who might need to carry small items in a larger bag--this would be excellent for keeping stitch markers, measuring tapes, small scissors, tapestry needles or other crafting sundries under control.

The colors shown in the photo are brighter and of more orange or rust hue than the scarf I received. It is lovely and of beautiful workmanship, but not what I had wanted. However, I've decided to give it as a birthday gift to someone who wears a lot of the maroon that is in the scarf. I have bought scarves from this artist before, and I admire her talent. The color are just not accurate on this one.

I am so pleased with this scarf. The colors in mine are true to the picture, muted grays, purples, and mauves. I have lots of clothes in these colors and the scarf looks great with all of them! This includes shirts in bolder tones. The fabric is cotton, a plus to my sensitive skin. To be sure it wouldn't irritate me, I put the scarf in the dryer with a fabric softener soaked cloth and tossed it on no heat .'fluff' for a few minutes. A beautiful scarf at a good price!

I just received two scarves today by Vinita and was so impressed with their quality and beauty that I wanted to write a review and to thank her for her beautiful work.They are both hand painted on silk but they are very different. This one is a long rectangular scarf that is tie dyed and the "Rose Plaid" is a large square with variationsof rose. Both are just beautiful and can't wait to wear them. Will be ordering more as gifts!

I absolutely love my exquisite scarf. It is truly a rich deep blue indigo color that will look beautiful against any skin tones. I look forward to many years of use. I typically like to purchase special finds to give as gifts throughout the year. However, this time I kept for myself. So, glad that I treated myself. To artist, Vinita-- you are truly a master of rare skill. Thank you for releasing your gift to the world. Blessings!!!
