Who has time to enjoy a robe?

I would like to purchase a terrycloth robe for a woman, ideally with animal print. Images of animals would be preferable to a leopard or zebra print pattern. Where can I find such an item?

I saw one in Sears unfortunately, I am not sure if it is terry cloth. I also found this one at Macys, they have others but I don't see any terry cloth ones.

What if you found a print you liked on Spoonflower & then contacted the designer (or any designer on Spoonflower that already makes robes) about making a robe for you with the fabric you like?

Would something like microfiber suffice for terry cloth?

Printed terry seems tough to find. As an alternative, for warmth, you could line the robe with plain fleece & have the outside be any kind of printed fabric, really.

Another solution might be to find a robe maker on Etsy & have them source the fabric from Spoonflower.

Best answer: Animal print, not "print of animals" but these are seriously the best robes ever.

It's not terry, but Cabela's has animal/bird printed fleecy robes.

Back when I was a robe-wearer, Sears was my go-to place for the comfy terry variety.

Two places (Victoria's Secret, Modcloth) that I thought might have had these don't. Although Modcloth does have tardis and stormtrooper terry-cloth robes and VS have short and long ones.

Response by poster: Wow. This whole discussion started 5+ years ago after noticing that the robe in a room at a Kimpton hotel was the best robe ever. I had no memory of it being an animal print, or knowledge that it was available for purchase online. Great suggestions all, but near preternatural insight from JoanArkham. Thanks to all.
