Desak Nyoman Parwati conjures sweet nuances of color in an original batik with contemporary flair. Crafting an extraordinary robe from the hand-dyed textile, she selects a classic design. Its front-wrap style, wide sleeves and matching belt mean leisure time beauty. Shades of pale yellow, olive, gray and brown are painted by hand.
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.

"A very nice robe."
I really like it, it looks nice, and elegant. Kind of banana yellow and subdued greens which I like a lot. The fabric is not heavy, but still has substance. I ordered XL, and it is quite roomy, with really wide sleeves. All in all, very happy with this.

"Just gorgeous"
This arrived this morning, and I am in love. It?s exactly what I?ve been looking for for years - it?s long, elegant, well-made and absolutely beautiful. The fabric is light and cool, moves easily and just flows. The colours are just something else - I?ve never seen a gown like it. I specifically wanted to review as I had been worried about the sizing. I am a UK size 14-16 and currently pregnant, so was looking for a gown to wear in hospital. Having done all the measurements I was worried this would be too small and nearly didn?t purchase. It is plenty big enough to wrap around, and once bump is huge then it can be worn open and still looks lovely. If you are hesitating - just go for it. Such a talented woman - thank you for my beautiful gown. I am already hunting for some more and they would make truly beautiful gifts for any mother-to-be, bride-to-be, anyone really!
