I had to smile
The very first day I wore this new jacket, a stranger on line behind me at the store told me how much she loved it and wanted to know where I got it. That tells you how wonderful and unusual it is! This is a very light jacket, almost like a shirt, and it's not very long. Good for warmer months. Great color. Wonderful detailing. Love it.

Perfect in Every Way
The jacket arrived tightly wrapped but the wrinkles disappeared with a good steam ironing. The style, and especially, the color go well with denim jeans or a black evening dress. Rolling up the sleeves a bit to accommodate my short arms shows off the pretty lining. The design is a show stopper with subtlety and surprises. The the sun stitched on the back, the coconut shell buttons, the stand up or lay back collar and the perfect length make this my go-to extra layer. The weight of the fabric plus the lining add warmth for spring and fall days. I have never appreciated a garment this much. I get compliments every time I wear this jacket and queries about the source. Then I rave about Novica clothing. I highly recommend purchase before they run out of this perfect jacket.

An elegant robe
There are not too many garments available to an 83 year old woman that would truly lift her spirits. The robe speaks to me of traditional Japanese design as do the colors. I see that there was a great deal of thought expressed in the placement of the design in the cloth so that it would be shown to the best advantage in the style of the robe. The fabric is a perfect choice, rather than cotton for this elegant robe! I am grateful that Novica is nurturing these wonderful artists because such uniqueness is not to be found elsewhere!
