About the Kimonos

Drape yourself in silk with these hand-painted silk batik robes and caftans imported from Bali. Every piece is a signed original, combining the tradition of batik tulis, hand batiking, with amazing designs. The silk feels delightful against your skin and flows beautifully from every angle. True wearable art, the themes range from floral to abstract to traditional designs. Wear the kimonos as a robe, an evening coat or in your own personal fashion.

There is also an extensive selection of original hand painted scarves, shawls, and silk sarongs which are perfect for cruise wear over a bathing suit.

This art form of hand batik takes from several days to two weeks to create a single garment. After the creation of the design, which may involve traditional motifs or modern design, it is sketched on the silk. It's then outlined in wax, detailed with the traditional art of canting, colored, fixed, and boiled. The amount of attention and care that goes into this creative act reflects the creative perfection that typifies the Balinese arts.

Short kimonos are approximately 3 1/2 ft. and Long kimonos are approximately 4 1/2 ft. Soft and strong, original and beautiful, these are real treasures from Bali.
