An End-of-Summer Checklist for Better Lounging

There’s a certain rhythm that comes with the end of summer. The days get quieter. The light shifts. And for many of us, it becomes the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and look at how we are officially 3/4 of the way through the year. It's our last chance to soak in the sun, observe the solstice, and reflect on the glorious last few days of summer

At Robeworks, we believe in the value of well-made things, especially the ones that support rest, comfort, and intention. Our robes are designed and handcrafted in Los Angeles, but they don’t exist in isolation. They’re part of a lifestyle. A habit of quality.

To help complete the experience, here are five Made-in-America products that pair seamlessly with your Robeworks robe. Each one is built to last, easy to integrate into your daily routine, and most importantly, designed with care.

1. A Modern Mocktail: Ghia

Drink Ghia offers a bold, botanical apéritif without alcohol, caffeine, or added sugar. Made in California, Ghia uses nervines and natural extracts to calm the mind without dulling it. Their flagship drink has a bitter citrus edge that holds up over ice, with a splash of soda or tonic. It’s ideal for early evenings spent on the patio or quiet nights in. Pour yourself a glass, wrap up in your Classic Robe in White, and let the day fall away.

2.  An Aromatherapy Set from P.F. Candle Co.

Scent has the power to shift a space and calm the mind. P.F. Candle Co., based in Los Angeles, creates soy-based candles, incense, and room sprays that work well in modern homes. Their Amber & Moss or Golden Coast scents are ideal for post-shower wind-downs. Pair this with your robe and you’ve created a simple, sensory experience that marks the end of a long day.

3. Wool Felt Slippers from Stegmann USA

You don’t need a lot of footwear when you’re at home, but you do need one pair that does the job right. Stegmann USA makes wool felt slippers that are temperature-regulating, supportive, and built to last. Made in the U.S. using sustainable materials, these are the perfect house shoes to complement your Robeworks robe. Lightweight enough for warm evenings, cozy enough for fall mornings.

4. A Leather-Bound Journal from Local Branch

Sometimes the best moments in a robe happen when you’re doing absolutely nothing.  Other times, you find yourself reflecting, reading, or writing something down. Whether it's mindfulness or creativity, we always suggest journaling as a great way to spend your time, no matter what your age is. Local Branch journals are handmade in upstate New York using premium leather and top-grade paper. Whether it’s for gratitude, goal-setting, or the start of a personal essay, having a dedicated space to write helps slow things down. Keep one next to your bathroom reading chair and use it often.

5. Stay Safe: Thrive Reef Safe Sunscreen SPF 50

Comfort doesn’t stop at the door. Thrive Natural Care makes reef-safe, broad spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen in the United States using regenerative plants grown on small organic farms in Costa Rica and California. It’s non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and designed for real-world use—beach days, mountain hikes, or just sun-soaked breakfasts in the backyard. Apply after your morning shower, slip into your custom-made robe, and start the day protected.

Closing the Season, Starting a Ritual

Let's not get mistaken: Enjoying the last days of summer should be at the top of everyone's list, and doing so, in the comfort of your home. Make the place you It’s about building a space and a routine that works. Every Robeworks robe is cut and sewn to order in Los Angeles, using premium materials and thoughtful design. When paired with other American-made essentials, it becomes part of a daily ritual that reminds you to slow down and treat yourself with care. They help extend the quality you expect from your robe into the rest of your space. Because when your robe works, everything around it should, too.
