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.

A True Piece of Art
Everything about this robe (Misty Javanese Forest) is exquisite: the colour is stunning and more intense than in the picture (did not fade a bit in a wash), the design gorgeous, the workmanship impeccable, the fabric very pleasant on the skin and the fit perfect, even for a tall woman like myself. I was so thrilled with this housecoat that I immediately ordered another one from the same artist. Parwati (I believe this is your first name rather than Desak), I found that Parvati in Sanskrit means "of the mountains" and is a goddess of love and power - I am honoured to be wearing your beautiful creation, which exudes these characteristics of your name. And NOVICA, the beautiful packaging together with the handwritten note with a few phrases in Balinese was very touching - like a present from a friend. This was my first purchase from NOVICA and it exceeded my highest expectations. Spreading happiness around the world indeed!

Batik robe 'Blue Anemone' by Desak Nyoman Parwati
This arrived on time and I love it. It came in a nice material draw string pouch that can be used for other things. There was a nice little envelope with a hand written note on a small colorful greeting card. I'm 5' 1" and it was not too long. Still a few inches for someone even shorter. The product is very professionally handmade and sewn. There is even pockets on either side - which is nice. There's a little loop inside on the back collar to hand the belt as no loops on the robe - perhaps to look nicer. I washed it right away in cold water with Woolite. No noticeable bleed of color...It's made of 100% Rayon. Care is on a little tag inside. It says to dry flat and you can iron it if want... but I just hung it wet and it didn't need ironing. Very happy with the purchase.
