The plush jacquard bathrobes that Craig Green has created for The Standard have a herringbone pattern and vertical stripes
It is a classic. Who has not thought of making a discreet hole in the suitcase to one of those precious and very soft bathrobes that make our stay in hotels more pleasant? We often dream of taking it home with us, perhaps to prolong that feeling of relaxation, disconnection and – why deny it – luxury that provides us, to put one, the kimono-bathrobe of Nobu hotels (oh, and those Geta-type plush slippers, their perfect companions!).
We will not be the ones who encourage you to commit illegalities: It is one thing to stay with those slippers that, it goes without saying, are to be used and thrown away (or not?), and quite another to appropriate such a large textile piece. Luckily, some of our favorite hotels put at our disposal the possibility of acquiring these pieces for a reasonable price.
Craig Green's design for The Standard is available on the hotel's website in mustard, yellow, brown and pink (€230).
We already live our particular crush with the little amenity shop at Ace Downtown Los Angeles as well as a passionate romance with Mama Shelter's in Paris , but our new object of desire is found in the bathrooms of The Standard, in London.
They are signed by the British designer Craig Green, who has already done the same with the staff uniforms , following a visit to the Standard in New York's Meatpacking District. There, a staff member delivered something to his room wearing a simple but Dr. Martens outfit, piercings and makeup, which gave him the idea: the neutral can be different (and playful) without being strident.
You'll want it in any of its fun colors: yellow, mustard, brown and dark pink
The plush jacquard bathrobes he has designed for The Standard, made in Portugal, They have a herringbone pattern and vertical stripes that imitate the patterns of their collections.
As usually happens with his characteristic sculptural cut designs, They incorporate two belts to transform them and play with them. You'll want it in any of its fun colors (forget classic white): yellow, mustard, brown and dark pink. Or in all.
Like in the hotel, but at home
