An elegant robe
There are not too many garments available to an 83 year old woman that would truly lift her spirits. The robe speaks to me of traditional Japanese design as do the colors. I see that there was a great deal of thought expressed in the placement of the design in the cloth so that it would be shown to the best advantage in the style of the robe. The fabric is a perfect choice, rather than cotton for this elegant robe! I am grateful that Novica is nurturing these wonderful artists because such uniqueness is not to be found elsewhere!

Even Prettier Than Expected
I really did not expect it to be such a nice piece of art. It is very comfortable. It came in a batik package that is another piece of art. It is kind of exciting tracking its arrival from another country (some would call it deferred gratification. The thank you note from the artist also included how to say some phrases in her language. The only suggestion I have is I wish it included how to take care of the robe so I don't have to look it up.

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!
