An Instant Favorite
I thought I wanted a Japanese men’s robe. Yet when I saw this robe on the NOVICA website, I kept returning to it to look at the lovely Indonesian design. When the robe arrived I was excited to see that the pattern was even more bold and vibrant than the online photo. The material is soft and light, super comfortable and a great fit. The robe arrived in a timely manner, beautifully packaged inside a cloth pouch, the same pattern of the robe, with a thank you card from NOVICA which included some Balinese words. This robe was for myself yet it would also make a great gift!
Birthday present for myself!
I decided to treat myself for my birthday with the Ocean Symphony Batik robe. It is truly a treat! The colors are as represented, a lovely ocean themed combination of aqua, royal blue and purple with some lighter shades. It's a joy to wear. The fabric is nice and solid, but not heavy, stiff, or flimsy like some batiks. The fit is fine and very comfortable. I am most impressed with the craftsmanship, though. Every seam is enclosed, including the pockets and front placket and shaping seams. This type of french seam will ensure that no fraying occurs. I plan to enjoy this lovely robe for a very long time. Many thanks to the artist who created this beautiful piece!
