Artisan Crafted Long Batik Cotton Robe for Women, "Blue Forest"
Lush with tropical flora, a blue forest is refreshingly relaxing. Designed like a kimono, the robe by Saktut Raitawati celebrates Indonesia's batik art tradition. The cotton robe ties with a wide belt.
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.

"So comfortable & cool!"
Love this robe! I got it to use the day of my daughter's summer wedding. It was so comfortable & cool. The color is more green than blue, but still beautiful!

"Batik robe"
I love that this robe is cotton. Those rayon ones are pretty but hot. I did shorten it and added a pocket and belt loops with what I cut off. I hate when womens garments dont include a pocket

"Very pleased!"
This is truly a lovely robe! Soft and well crafted. It is blue and the fabric has a very exotic flair. It is so much better than the very common robes you find in the shops! Wearing it makes me feel elegant, feminine and comfortable. Thank you for the great work!

"Blue Forest Batik Robe - beautiful!"
The all cotton robe arrives a little stiff, but washes beautifully. The fabric is gorgeous, just what I hoped for. But I want to say that its the construction that surprised me. There is not one exposed seam, nothing to eventually ravel or fray. All seams are flat fell or french seams, so professionally made! This workshop does beautiful work in construction of the garment and the stitching is expert. I was so pleased! Note that the robe has the elongated sleeves of Japanese kimono style, which I modified to be straight robe sleeves, but it was not difficult. I wear it as a bathrobe, but it is pretty enough to wear to a party!

"Lovely Kimono and Fantastic Customer Service"
I ordered this kimono for a special occasion. I received a different kimono by mistake. It happens. I called customer service and Malia helped me. I told her that I needed the correct kimono by a specific date. She expedited the order. She sent me a pre-paid return label for the different kimono. I doubted that the correct kimono would be delivered in time. Amazingly, the morning of the date I was promised FedEx delivery arrived! Malia kept her word. I love the kimono. The fabric is light, but not too flimsy. It hangs gracefully and is well made. I love it. Thank you Novica. Excellent service!

"A lovely A line Rayon Sundress in Onyx"
I just received this lovely A-line Rayon sundress Mountain Rocks designed by Saktut Raitawati. This dress is very slimming and flowy and absolutely beautiful sundress in onyx. It will be lovely with jewellry and high heels for a dinner out on a hot summer night or dressed down with sandals during the day. Saktut is a talented designer and the shipping was fast and it was in excellent condition. Highly recommend if you are looking for a unique design and handmade. I have a lovely dress and my purchase helps new artists and designers in their livelihood. Thank you Saktut and best of luck.

"lightweight for warm weather"
I am afraid that I found this jacket somewhat matronly. I did not like how it hangs. Not particularly flattering.

"Another great robe"
Well made, elegant design. Only drawback is the colours are not as vibrant as in the photos. Instead of spring green and lilac, mine is more olive green and the purple is a bit muddy. Nevertheless, it still looks great, and is the perfect weight to be cozy but not smothering. I really like the robes by the artist and will probably buy another this year (that will make three for me, and one given as a gift).
