Commodus Home Robe is a luxurious knit worked top down with raglan increases. Wearing the light weight and fluffy robe is so comfortable, that it’s almost hard to take it off. The bell-shaped sleeves are oversized which allows another comfy layer beneath.
On cold winter evenings, it gives warmth and coziness while watching a good movie, reading a good book or sipping a cup of tea.
