“PaTcHwOrK PiNk” one-of-a-kind cottage style bathrobe reminiscent of an old patchwork quilt. Every single piece of fabric incorporated into this special robe was carefully selected from our extensive collection of vintage chenille bedspreads.

Coordinating belt features 15 hand-cut quilt squares…because a boring, plain belt tie just won’t do. Giant front patch pockets, one embellished with fringe in a soothing aqua – look closely because they are intentionally placed mis-aligned so that one is situated slightly sideways. So many pink colortones and wonderful textures, from lightweight zig zags to plush pink Hoffman daisies.

Everything about our patchwork robes is intended to emphasize the shabby cottage style so you’ll notice natural distressing to the fabric that was deliberately incorporated, such as skipped needletufting & pulls which is inherent to these very old fabrics.

OUR VISION IS SIMPLE…

To blend sentimentality with sustainability as we use these precious, scarce vintage chenille fabrics to tell a story of our great American textile history. Once omnipresent in homes across the country during the 1930s-1950s, chenille fell out of fashion in the decades thereafter. By the 1980s and 90s, they found their way to thrift stores, auction houses, and “rag factories,” allowing a new generation of enterprising women to re-envision these once-loved textiles.

Today, quality chenille has become very challenging to source in any condition, which presents a design challenge we’re up for. The benefit of this design is in its sustainability – all garments wear eventually and many are simply discarded. Lost your belt tie? Snagged the hem? Facings a bit worn? Simply infuse your own creativity & add to the shabby patchwork look with a patch here, a patch there…and let these surprisingly durable fabrics take on new life, tell a new story…yours…
