Instead I found a really enjoyable film with a Sherlock Holmes who was, though different in many ways from the detective we all know, believable.  Odd, impossibly talented, occasionally dark and strangely vulnerable, whatever you’ve heard, this new Sherlock Holmes is not  Iron Man with a bad English accent. This Sherlock Holmes is new and different, but somehow still the same, and maybe even better, in his own way.

So today when I sat down to look at our next collection of nightgowns, I found myself looking more at the robes. We all know about robes. They have shawl collars, belted waists and they look, to quote my grandmother, like bags tied in the middle. There’s really nothing more to say. But maybe, like the creators of this new Sherlock Holmes, we can take another look and create which is the same, traditional useful, comforting garment, but with a new and different twist. Watch this space!

So for a casual dinner by your pool or on the yacht, why not choose our custom evening pajamas and glorious Sheba robe, and top the whole thing with a fabulous cocktail hat, just to be different? They say it’s a hat, but take a look, it’s a hairband really, and who wouldn’t wear a hairband with their pajamas? Dare to be different!
