If you’re being honest with yourself, does this time of year make you feel at home in your skin or in a state of low-simmering anxiety about what to wear? Between the family dinners, the neighborhood potlucks, and the holiday traditions, this particular season asks a lot of your wardrobe. You want to feel like the most energized, beautiful version of you when you get dressed for any of those occasions, but you also need your clothing to feel comfortable through long stretches of Thanksgiving dinner or hosting the neighborhood Winter Solstice party.
When you layer your holiday outfit with a kimono robe, you are showcasing a piece that matches your wants and your needs – a wearable work of art, designed in our San Francisco studio by our co-founders, sisters Renee and Tiffany Tam. Over the years, we have watched our community style these pieces in so many unique ways for their most meaningful holiday moments.
For Hosting the Thanksgiving Gathering
Hosting Thanksgiving means you’re constantly in motion. You need a layer that feels put-together when guests arrive, but one that won’t get in your way when you’re moving quickly between the kitchen and the dining room. A charmeuse kimono robe is an easy choice for this kind of day. Woven from 22mm, 100% Charmeuse-Polyester, this fabric offers a lightweight, fluid drape that looks incredibly elegant without being high maintenance. It brings an effortless sophistication so you can give the day your full attention.
If you are looking for something with a bit more structure to wear over simple trousers and a camisole, a charmeuse kimono wrap brings an elevated touch to your hosting outfit. Featuring velvet trim, double lining, and in-seam pockets, it provides the practicality you need while holding a beautiful, fluid shape. The pockets are perfect for keeping small essentials close at hand while you manage the evening. Because these pieces are machine washable—simply place the garment in a mesh bag, use cold water on a delicate cycle, and hang to dry—you do not have to worry about the inevitable kitchen splashes. It is the best robe for the host who wants to look beautiful while handling every last detail with ease.

For the Office Holiday Party
When it is time to step out for an office holiday party, you want a piece that strikes the right balance between professional elegance and festive celebration. A 16mm Printed Silk Kimono Robe transitions seamlessly from day to night. Woven from 100% silk, this fabric is lighter on the body, giving it a quality that glides beautifully over a slip dress or tailored pantsuit. It adds a sophisticated layer of visual interest to an evening surrounded by colleagues.
Renee and Tiffany conceptualize every design for silk in our San Francisco studio, drawing inspiration from family heritage, vintage Asian artwork, and modern aesthetics. From there, our artisan team in China's Silk Village translates those concepts onto pure silk using high-precision printing techniques. This process ensures rich color depth and crisp pattern definition that stands out in a crowded room. Because we design these robes to be versatile, we hear from many women in our community who appreciate our plus size robes women options for delivering continuous inspiration to their wardrobes, from office parties to happy hours. Draping a printed silk piece over your shoulders instantly heightens your go-to office look for the celebrations of the season.

Crafted from 22mm, 100% Grade 6A Raw Mulberry Silk, this fabric has a substantial weight and a buttery feel against the skin.

When Renee and Tiffany developed this line, the goal was to create an indulgence that fits seamlessly into your life without adding a trip to the dry cleaner. A long silky robe in washable silk provides incredible durability, making it the perfect layer to wrap yourself in as you move from the living room floor to the breakfast table. It sets a grounded, intentional tone for a morning dedicated to connection and rest.

Ringing in the new year calls for something that captures the energy and optimism of the night.
