Golden leaves drift in a sky of red and orange, their luminous images evoking autumn splendor. Desak Nyoman Parwati celebrates their joy in an intricate batik design. She crafts this robe with a flattering front-wrap style, wide sleeves and matching belt for leisure beauty.
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.
For eleven years Desak worked with a batik artisan learning all aspects of the process, from wax painting to dyeing. From her, she learned not only the art of batik and textile design but also how to care for her workers. In her workshop, Desak and the older artisans generously teach their art to the younger artisans, preserving for another generation this UNESCO cultural treasure.
Through perseverance, Desak has grown her workshop. She now employs members of her family and give jobs to other artisans in her community.
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.
Desak works hard to care for her three children and does all she can to give them a better life.
This artist has dramatically improved their livelihood by working with NOVICA.
Desak provides for the education of her three children.

This gorgeous item is everything it says it is and more. The colors burst out but subtlety. It's made very well,all stitching secure and finished. This is my third robe,that should speak for itself.
