I love this artists work! This is the second robe I purchased from her. The fabric is good—seems sturdy and flows well. The colors of this robe remind me of a stunning sunset

This robe was one of my very favorites with these patterns and colors. but the material is far weaker than many of the batik robes Ive bought from Novica and it started tearing almost immediately. I havent figured out a way to patch it to make it wearable again. :(
You can find our batik rayon sarong 'Happy Foliage' by Desak Nyoman Parwati in clothing categories such as Batik Sarongs, Leaf and Tree Sarongs and Rayon Sarongs. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
