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!

This was a bit of a surprise as its a little heavier than expected, but its so beautifully and finely woven.. added to the fact that its large enough to use completely in place of any other coat (well, except for the coldest of snow days!) for the winter, the weight makes sense. It is truly beautiful.. the color is deep, yet not forest green, but a pure, true green that has a more refreshing and lighter eye than many of the deeper greens. As I said, its gorgeous!
