Combining colors of lilac and indigo, this Balinese sarong evokes a peaceful vibe. By Desak Nyoman Parwati, the sarong is woven of rayon, decorated with elegant frond motifs in the batik style, where a wax resist is stamped onto the fabric before being dyed. A strap with fringes at the neck secures the sarong, which drapes beautifully.

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. :(
