The Josephine Robe

The Josephine Robe – Inspired by 1833

Step into another time with the Josephine Robe, a piece born from memory and legacy. Inspired by my ancestor, Josephine Emma who was born in 1833 and raised in the heart of Victorian England. This robe pays homage to a woman who lived amidst the golden age of craftsmanship.

Josephine was a milliner by trade, one of the countless women who stitched elegance into the very fabric of 19th-century life. Her hands worked lace, silk, and velvet, yet it was cotton, pure and breathable that wrapped her each morning and comforted her each night. In an era where beauty was woven into everyday rituals, even something as simple as a robe became a garment of grace.

This 100% cotton robe captures the soft romance of that world. With its flowing silhouette and timeless drape, it recalls the quiet dignity of Victorian dressing rooms, where women like Josephine prepared themselves for the day with care. 

Cotton, a staple of the time, was prized not just for its durability but for the gentle way it touched the skin. This robe features embroidery details and centuries old style smocking along the chest. The gown closes with adjustable cotton strings along the front opening. 

Whether you wear it by candlelight with your journal or on a slow morning with tea in hand, the Josephine Robe invites you to live with a little more softness, a little more history, and a great deal of heart.
