Hand Made Batik Robe from Indonesia, "Hibiscus Red"

Evoking shadows illuminated at sunrise, hibiscus flowers appear in silhouettes on crimson batik. Comfortable and beautiful, this robe by Nyoman Nadri is fashioned with a flattering front-wrap style, wide sleeves and matching belt.

Batik is a fabric art in which the cloth is stretched on a wooden frame and the design sketched with a pencil. Then a mixture of melted wax is painted by hand onto areas where color is not desired. When the fabric is crumpled into the dying solution, the wax cracks, creating an attractive network of fine lines. The wax is removed and the process is repeated for each color utilized. Finally, the cloth is washed and rinsed to remove any excess dye.

This handpainted batik robe is a truly original work of art. Sunlight, water, dye and temperature all factor into the look of the finished robe. This should be considered a unique design made especially for you. Colors and pattern placement will vary.
