While we would love to take any chance to tell you about our best selling collections, how and when to fit them into your wardrobe, and how to style our kimono wraps and robes, sometimes the best advice comes from people like you — the folks in our lovely community. After all, each of these kimono robes, from our maternity robes to our women’s plus size robes, have been designed with you in mind. It’s been your stories, your experiences, and your lives that have made the biggest impact on our designs.
You’ve told us stories about wearing a maternity robe home from the hospital with your first born. You’ve told us stories about finding a women’s plus size robe that made you feel confident and beautiful in your own skin for the first time in years. You have told us about the way you and your girlfriends each got your own kimono wraps to wear for a girls weekend to celebrate your 50th birthday. You have worn these so many different ways, and we have loved hearing about every single one of them. And that’s partly why we’ve designed these in such detail, with handcrafted quality, and the timeless techniques that make these truly one of a kind works of art. Because you, and your everyday lives, deserve a bit of luxury and self care you can wear. So today in the journal, we’re sharing words from you, our lovely community, and why you’ve chosen each of these styles to be the best robes for women and men. We hope this community guide helps you consider how these kimono robes might fit into your own story. And if they do, we hope you feel amazing each time you slip into one of them.
Carin and her girlfriends picked up our kimono wraps for an incredible girls’ weekend. Here’s her story:
“This is the most beautiful kimono I have ever seen. It is clear that it is made with love and pride and I could not be any happier that I found you! I want to share the story behind me buying your kimono robe! I have my three best friends coming to visit me. We have been very close friends for more than 30 years now, and life has taken us to many places and through many shared moments, joys, heartbreaks, sadness and happiness, to where we live in 4 separate countries for years now, but we never lost each other. I invited them to come stay with me for a long weekend break, and after a lot of trying to find the time between children’s schedules, work schedules and hectic lives in general - it is finally happening. As a welcome gift I was looking for something very special that will remind us of who we are, and that we can each cherish as a memory afterwards, and this is why I bought four of your absolutely beautiful kimonos. They are even more beautiful and perfect than I could have imagined. I love them & I cannot wait for us to all put them on one evening, pamper ourselves with masks and nail polish and have Prosecco while catching up with each other. Thank you so much for your beautiful product!”
One thing we love to hear about is how your life transforms from season to season. And so often, these kimono wraps and robes help to mark those transformative moments. Here’s what Britten had to share:
“I deserve this piece! There was a complete shift in my life when I purchased and wore this beautiful work of art. I’m 34 years old and have really been coming into myself lately and this piece made me truly believe that I deserve to be treated like a Queen! I will be adding to my collection for special occasions, for sure!”
We were thrilled when we could bring our women’s plus size robes to our collection a few years ago. It was an exciting addition that made our offerings more inclusive. And with the addition of our women’s plus size robes, more and more women can appreciate their beautiful curves and remember to gift themselves self care they can wear. Here’s what Elizabeth shared:
“When you become a woman of a certain age, the children are all grown up, and in my case a widow. Now, is my time, that I can spoil myself with a beautiful kimono robe to relax in luxury, and pamper myself. I’ve ordered two of your robes from curve & plus size. Your robes are a timeless work of art which I truly appreciate.”
So many in our community wear these pieces as maternity robes. They bring them to the hospital, wear them in those early newborn days, and drape them over their shoulders to feel luxurious as they’re recovering at home. And the best part of giving these as maternity robes is that so many women selflessly do things for others and forget to take care of themselves. With self care they can wear, they can routinely add a little self love to their daily lives. That’s why these are perfect gifts. Here’s what Peggy shared about gifting to her sister;
“I bought a KIM+ONO robe for myself last year and purchased this one for my sister's birthday. She is always doing for others but not herself. I knew she would never buy one so I wanted to surprise her with the Spring Floral Robe in Black. She is truly ecstatic to have such a beautiful gift and it made me so happy too. I will definitely purchase another for myself...you want to collect them because they truly are a work of art in motion.”
There are so many beautiful ways to wear these kimono wraps and robes, and so many ways to gift them. But again, don’t take it from us. Our community knows the best robes for women and has the best advice to share when it comes from gifting. Choose one of the beautiful pieces above and make someone’s holiday extra merry and extra bright — and that includes you!
