Women's Batik Patterned Robe, "Paradise Peacock"
To wear this robe is to wear a colorful allegory of tradition, were a myriad shapes and patterns revel in blue and fuchsia, yellow, orange, and green. Ying-yang emblems, exotic flowers, and starfish seem to float through the folds with every movement. Ideal for a stroll on a warm summer evening.
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.

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.

"Freedom, Functionality, and Beauty"
I recently moved from a house to a condo where neighbors tend to do sweet things like drop off packages, ect. I also work at home so spend some days in my jammies for a good part of the day as I work. I wanted a nice coverup that I could throw on over anything and be completely presentable, something other than a traditional bathrobe. This beautiful, well made, sturdy (not flimsy see-through) bright, classy kimono did the trick! I like it so well that I ordered another one as well as a short one for the summer. Highly recommended.
Best Uses
- Classy coverup for unexpected company as well as everyday

"I want to Keep it!!"
But it is a Christmas gift for a dear friend. Unless I can find something else to give her, then I can keep it. No, I bought it for her and hers it will be. See my problem? It is so soft, so vibrant, so beautiful. Thank you!!!

"Wearable Art! "
I own several of the robes from Novica as they are unlike anything you can find from the department stores! These robes are so beautiful, comfortable and will get you compliments! I'm a dog walker in my neighborhood and often get compliments when I wear my robes out of the house! I've sent several neighbors to your site to order their favorites as well -everyone is happy with their purchases and our complex is more beautiful for the wearable art that we are wearing for our morning walks!
Best Uses
- comfort, beauty, self pampering,so beautiful you can wear outdoors when walking the dogs and be turning heads!
