Women's batik robe, 'Through the Seas'

The texture of delicate pink coral ripples across blue seas and sapphire lagoons in a magical underwater motif. Inspired by Balinese art and culture, Nyoman Nadri adds contemporary design expertise to create this comfortable batik robe. She fashions it with a front wrap style, generous sleeves and matching belt. Batik is a fabric art in which the cloth is stretched on a wooden frame and the design sketched with a pencil. Then a mixture of melted wax is painted by hand onto areas where color is not desired. When the fabric is crumpled into the dying solution, the wax cracks, creating an attractive network of fine lines. The wax is removed and the process is repeated for each color utilized. Finally, the cloth is washed and rinsed to remove any excess dye. 100% rayon. Wash by hand in cool water, or machine wash with delicate cycle and cold water. Avoid drying in direct sunlight. One size fits all.
