What is the Doona Robe?

It's a doona... and a robe.

No, but really! Imagine your favourite fluffy doona, transformed into a gloriously oversized robe with pockets and a belt.

That's what it is.

It's also a limited-edition, breathable, and temperature-regulating robe, available in three dreamy hues — lilac, hunter green and biscuit. Made with 100% natural 'Cloud Corn', a sustainable alternative to polyester, wearing the Doona Robe feels like being enveloped in a cloud... but you can actually get things done (or not, we don't judge).

My review of the Doona Robe

As a self-proclaimed queen of comfort and someone who runs perpetually cold, the Doona Robe was basically made for me.

At 172cm and a size eight, the Small/Medium was a perfect fit and had that perfectly puffy look without drowning me in fabric.

I went for the Hunter Green, a deep, dreamy forest colour that is the perfect winter shade.

Length is key for robes, so I was curious to see how long this one would be and was pleasantly surprised at the midi length, stopping around halfway down the calves.

One of my favourite features was the adjustable belt, which lets you experiment with wearing it loose and breezy with activewear or trackies underneath or cinched in for ultimate cocooning.

Plus, it adds a touch of style if you're feeling bold enough to rock it outside the house (which, by the way, you absolutely should).

Since getting the robe, I have practically been living in it, which means wearing it while WFH ,to yoga or pilates and ducking out to the shops and running errands.

You might get a few raised eyebrows at Woolies, but mostly, you'll just get compliments, like the one I got from the lovely receptionist at my gym who upon seeing me at 6 am exclaimed: "You look like you just got out of bed and I mean that in the best way possible."
