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!
Fabulous accessorie, for an old tee or fine dress
Fascinatingly BEAUTIFUL! This is my second purchase of this extraordinary weaving. The first is a different colorway, (the aqua, sea foam & nutmeg..it's wonderful) I am an artist, painter, colorist by birth, meaning Color comes naturally. Despite being an art teacher, I could never explain How I arrive at "seeing" color except for observing Nature. This scarf arrived today, it is around my neck as I type, then glance down and am lost in the beauty of the weaving of blues into a yellow ochre, paprika, mossy green floats to soft teal. The photographs are accurate, but cannot convey the complexity of the interplay of the weave. I'm in an old deep blue shirt over a paprika sweater. In other words, nothing "dressed up", it's 2am! Insomnia from pain due to recent disability, I shall never likely travel farther than another doctors appointment, I am Grateful to have a Connection with another artist, a woman with a joyful smile. I smile back to her and say "I Thank YOU" your talent and skill.

Beautifully made robe
This robe is made with a great craftsmanship. The muted blue colors are as beautiful as they are in the picture. I live the celestial pattern. Drapes very nicely and is true to size. I bought it in medium and wear size/142 lbs. the lenght is right around the ankles (I am 5’7”). It didn’t have a funny smell as some people noted in their reviews. It was packaged very nicely in a bat from the same fabric.
