Textile artisan Desak Nyoman Parwati creates a casual dress replete with natural Balinese elements. Leafy motifs are created through a traditional batik dying process, which involves an artistic application of wax along with the tie-dying technique to create complex layers of color. Vibrant indigo and cerulean evoke a seaside feel.

"pretty caftan"
Lovely print and color and dress is very very comfy but be aware it runs HUGE!! I am a m/l and ordered the medium but should have gone w the small. Even after washing and drying on high heat it fits more like a caftan or moomoo. But because it is comfortable, shall keep and wear around the house for summer.

"Wear this robe almost every eve. in warmer months"
A very nicely made, soft and flowing garment, has a feel almost like silk; and is cool enough for spring and summers; yet also gives warmth in transition seasons. It is a bit long for me, so I have to be careful going up and down stairs, being sure to lift the hem with one hand. I am average height, 5ft, 5 inches.

"Love my new robe"
Very pretty robe with blue, purple and green. Feels very soft and light weight when wearing it. My husband thinks it looks great too. It is generously sized but does not feel like too much fabric. It washes well - I use delicate, cold water and let air dry. I am 5 9” tall so it does not come all the way to my ankles but it is longer than most at pprox 52” from center neck to hem. Thank you Desak Nyoman Parwati for a beautiful robe.

"The most beautiful clothing item I own"
WOW! This robe is completely perfect in every way. Did I mention it has pockets!?! This is honestly the most beautiful clothing item of any kind that I have ever owned. So much attention to detail and care went into this piece. The colors and Batik are more beautiful than the photos. The photos dont do the piece justice, there is a beautiful ethereal quality to the colors. Green like light shining on leaves in a dense forest, the teal like clear lake water seen from a distance. It feels so special and natural. This is a work of art and couldnt be more perfect, almost like it was made for me! Thank you so much, I really couldnt be happier!
Best Uses
- Wearing constantly!
- Relaxing
- Self care
- In the forest
