A True Piece of Art
Everything about this robe (Misty Javanese Forest) is exquisite: the colour is stunning and more intense than in the picture (did not fade a bit in a wash), the design gorgeous, the workmanship impeccable, the fabric very pleasant on the skin and the fit perfect, even for a tall woman like myself. I was so thrilled with this housecoat that I immediately ordered another one from the same artist. Parwati (I believe this is your first name rather than Desak), I found that Parvati in Sanskrit means "of the mountains" and is a goddess of love and power - I am honoured to be wearing your beautiful creation, which exudes these characteristics of your name. And NOVICA, the beautiful packaging together with the handwritten note with a few phrases in Balinese was very touching - like a present from a friend. This was my first purchase from NOVICA and it exceeded my highest expectations. Spreading happiness around the world indeed!

Beautifully made robe and a perfect fit!
I adore this robe!! The fabric is wonderfully soft and silky, but still has a nice weight to it. The colors are bright and bold. A bonus find is the robe has pockets. I am 5? 2? and 125lbs. I honestly fully expected to have to have this robe tailored to get an appropriate length in the hem and arms, but it fits me perfectly. Could not be happier with my purchase. It came beautifully packaged in a fabric pouch definitely worth saving and even included a sweet card from the artist. I love it! Thank you!!!

Lovely Batik!
Desak~ I had to alter it because I'm NOT a tall model at 4'10"s! I measured and chalked, reshaped the lower sleeves so they would not drag in whatever I am doing, shortened the sleeves and hem 5 inches, sewed in a large snap ( so I would not have to wear a tie around my waist) and voila! The batik is beautiful! Not easy to take a full length photo...but perhaps you can see the sleeve.
