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!

I love the way this box is built, colored and painted!
'Javanese Memory' is decorated in a floral batik manner, and is predominately a subtle red with a simple design of rows of 4-petal "flowers" along each side. There are also special batik flowers on the lids of the four separate compartments of the box. I really love having the four compartments with the lovely lids. I love the way Gunadi shaped, designed, and used batik to decorate this beautiful box! P.S. I also have his 'Scarlet Scrolls' box - it is beautiful too! I thank him for his extra special work.
