Well, it only took me a year, but I finally found my perfect robe! Last year, when I went to Nevis, I fell in love with the gorgeous ikat bathrobe in my room at the Golden Rock Inn. And so after coming home, I made it my mission to find myself a perfect bathrobe to help me bring the spirit of travel home.
Unfortunately, my search for the perfect ikat robe proved fairly fruitless, despite my fairly savvy Internet search skills. I couldn’t find any mention of the brand of my hotel robe anywhere online, and the ikat robes I did manage to find were either not my size, not colors I loved, or prohibitively expensive. So for awhile, I simply set the search aside.
I had pretty much given up when I came across Printfresh. Sure, their robes aren’t ikat, but they pretty much checked off everything else on my wish list – roomy size, big sleeves, ample pockets, and gorgeous patterns and colors. (Oh, and they are made in India, another favorite travel destination of mine.) I decided to test the waters by sending a robe to my sister for her birthday in August (she loved it) and when they released this gorgeous red and indigo print, I decided to treat myself.
After having the robe for the past two months, I can happily say that it fits the bill, and I’m no longer lusting too much over that ikat anymore. Though my stuck-at-home-thanks-to-Covid self does wish I was back in Nevis! Or anywhere for that matter. But until I can safely travel again, I’ll just be hanging out in my robe at home, enjoying life here as well.
And yes, I did put on red lipstick and my extra large Evident earrings in Coral Red to take these pictures. Because that’s how I roll. (And you can get your own pair of earrings in my online store.)
