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.

"Beautifully made robe and a perfect fit!"
I adore this robe!! The fabric is wonderfully soft and silky, but still has a nice weight to it. The colors are bright and bold. A bonus find is the robe has pockets. I am 5? 2? and 125lbs. I honestly fully expected to have to have this robe tailored to get an appropriate length in the hem and arms, but it fits me perfectly. Could not be happier with my purchase. It came beautifully packaged in a fabric pouch definitely worth saving and even included a sweet card from the artist. I love it! Thank you!!!

I feel like a Queen in these robes, I share them and I have about a dozen for myself...I can't get enough...they are made very well and feel wonderful on and wash up well...I hang dry them. If I could give 100 stars I would...I would like it if she would make some like these but as blouses
