An elegant robe
There are not too many garments available to an 83 year old woman that would truly lift her spirits. The robe speaks to me of traditional Japanese design as do the colors. I see that there was a great deal of thought expressed in the placement of the design in the cloth so that it would be shown to the best advantage in the style of the robe. The fabric is a perfect choice, rather than cotton for this elegant robe! I am grateful that Novica is nurturing these wonderful artists because such uniqueness is not to be found elsewhere!

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.

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.
