loose dresses

Balinese artisan Endah creates this delightful caftan. Crafted from flowing rayon, the caftan is decorated using the batik method; a wax resist is stamped by hand onto the fabric before it is treated with colorful dyes, resulting in lemon yellow leaf motifs against a body of turquoise. A tie cinches this poncho at the waist for a flirty look. This multi-functional piece can be worn as a beach cover-up, a summery short dress or a relaxed top.

Inspired by fall, Balinese artisan Endah creates this elegant shift dress. Crafted from smooth rayon, the shift is decorated using the batik method; a wax resist is stamped by hand onto the fabric before it is treated with dye, resulting in a deep midnight blue with leaf and floral motifs of snow white. The dress is characterized by short sleeves and a knee-length skirt, and features a removable self belt and side seam pockets.

Textile artisan Desak Nyoman Parwati creates a casual dress replete with natural Balinese elements. Leafy motifs are created through a traditional batik dying process, which involves an artistic application of wax along with the tie-dying technique to create complex layers of color. Vibrant indigo and cerulean evoke a seaside feel.

Balinese accessories filled with color and splendor are featured in a stylish gift set curated by the NOVICA team. A gorgeous open-front, one-size kimono jacket is crafted from 100% rayon made from bamboo, boasting a loose fit, three-quarter sleeves and leaf motifs hand-stamped with classic batik techniques. Evoking underwater stones, a pair of festive dangle earrings are a lovely reimagining of the ocean floor, exquisitely hand-painted and carved from natural bone, accented with amethyst and garnet stones and complete with gleaming sterling silver hooks. Finally, a spiral hair pin is lovingly carved by hand from suar wood, perfect for an impeccable look.

An elegant shade of midnight and white details enhance these graceful long pants designed by Indonesian artisan Endah. Using batik techniques, Endah hand-stamps floral and leaf motifs that embellish the entire design, making each garment unique and an elegant choice for summer soirees. These comfortable pants also feature an elastic waistband and two handy pockets on each side.
