Hand Made Green Batik Robe, "Emerald Forest"
Emerald foliage and deep jade vines flourish in a Balinese forest. Painted by hand, they grace this colorful batik robe by Desak Nyoman Parwati. As beautiful as it is comfortable, its flattering front-wrap style, wide sleeves and matching belt make this robe a favorite.
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.

"warm and comfy"
This is a very comfortable robe that I wear around the house. Sized a little small, but who cares? The green is very flattering!
