LAKE Pima Robe in English Rose Blockprint — Review: Worth it?
Searching for a robe that looks as good as it feels — something lightweight for mornings, pretty enough for company, and soft enough to live in all weekend? The LAKE Pima Robe in English Rose Blockprint aims to fill that gap: a 100% Pima cotton robe with a hand-painted mini block print, long sleeves, sewn-in belt and pockets. Below I break down whether it’s a smart buy for your loungewear rotation.
Quick product snapshot

Material & quality
The robe is made from 100% Pima cotton — a long-staple cotton known for a silkier hand and better durability than standard cotton. The fabric used here reads as a soft, slightly textured weave (not terry), with the following traits:
- Softness: Immediately soft to the touch; feels smooth against the skin and improves after a couple of gentle washes.
- Breathability: Lightweight and airy — great for year-round lounging but not designed as an absorbent post-shower robe.
- Print & finish: Hand-painted mini blockprint gives an artisanal look; print sits nicely on the fabric and the palette (English Rose — light pink on white) is feminine without being loud.
- Construction: Clean stitching, a sewn-in belt that stays in place, and properly sized side pockets. Collar and sleeve finishings are neat and feel durable.
Real-world experience — Pros & Cons
Here’s what to expect from daily use and ownership.
Pros
- Luxuriously soft hand from first wear — Pima cotton adds a premium feel without the weight of heavy robes.
- Lightweight drape that flatters without feeling clingy; easy to move around in for chores or coffee by the window.
- Practical details like deep side pockets and a sewn-in belt keep functionality high.
- Pretty, subtle print that elevates basic loungewear into something you won’t hide away.
- Available in a wide size range (XXS–XXL), so getting a comfortable fit is easier.
Cons
- Not ideal as a quick-dry towel substitute — Pima cotton isn’t as absorbent as terry or waffle robes for post-shower use.
- At $134, it sits in the mid-to-upper price range for day robes; value depends on how much you prioritize fabric and print.
- Print may fade slightly over many washes if laundered harshly; recommended: gentle cycle, low heat or air dry.
- Colorway is focused on the English Rose palette — if you want neutral or dark prints, selection is limited.
- Sizing availability can vary (some smaller sizes show limited stock), so act quickly if you need XS/S.
How it compares
| Model | Fabric & Feel | Functionality | Typical Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAKE Pima Robe (this review) | 100% Pima cotton — soft, lightweight, breathable; printed finish | Pockets, sewn-in belt; good for lounging and light wear | $134 | Those who want a pretty, soft everyday robe — not a shower towel |
| Parachute Classic Cotton Robe | Classic cotton blend/percale — crisp, slightly heavier | Simple silhouette, pockets, good durability | Similar-mid range | Fans of a structured, classic robe look |
| Brooklinen Waffle / Lightweight Robe | Waffle or lightweight Turkish cotton — more textured, very breathable | Highly absorbent (waffle), great for post-shower; cozy | Comparable to slightly higher | Those needing a multipurpose robe for showering + lounging |
Who is this robe best for?
- Someone who prioritizes softness and a refined printed aesthetic for home wear.
- People who want a lightweight robe for mornings, travel, or layered lounging (not for heavy towel duty).
- Gift buyers looking for a beautiful, ready-to-wear piece with artisanal detail.
- Anyone who prefers breathable natural fibers over synthetic blends.
Final verdict — Worth it?
If your priority is a soft, attractive robe for everyday lounging and you value a refined printed look, the LAKE Pima Robe in English Rose Blockprint is worth considering. It delivers on comfort, pockets and a polished design, and the Pima cotton elevates the feel compared with basic cotton robes. If you need a heavy-duty post-shower robe or want a very quick-dry option, you’ll be better served by a waffle or terry style instead.
Tip: Treat the robe gently in the wash (gentle cycle, low heat or air dry) to preserve the print and keep the fabric soft longer.
