We visited a boutique in Florida 24 years ago and my boyfriend, now husband bought me a robe. You have heard of "comfort food", well I had a "comfort robe". On stressful days, when I was sick, when I was on vacation, when I needed relaxation, I wore this robe. I loved the hood, the length, the softness and thickness of the material in the robe. I wore that robe for 24 years before it needed a replacement. This year for our anniversary I asked for the same robe, made by the same company. My sweet husband made my request come true. I love, love, love my new robe. It is the same excellent quality, if not better than the original robe. My family who has seen me in the old robe these past 24 years has asked if they can have the old robe. Nope! It is staying with me in case my new robe is in the laundry. Thank you for your quality of cozy.
