Over $89.6 million sent to artisans so far!
Wrap yourself in the cool comfort of this luxurious long-sleeved hand-painted robe. Designed by Balinese artisan Desak Nyoman Parwati, the robe's design of light blue dragonflies on a black is achieved with batik, a resist dyeing technique. Lovely and comfortable, its flattering front-wrap style, wide sleeves and matching belt bring a touch of Balinese chic anywhere you are.
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.
The robe is beautifully made, the colors are vibrant on a great material.
