There’s something truly special about slipping into a robe that feels like it was made just for you—soft, breathable, and full of character. At our Amherst gift shop, we’re proud to carry robes from Natural Habitat, a brand that blends comfort, craft, and cultural heritage in every piece.
Handcrafted with Purpose
Natural Habitat’s roots lie in a deep love for India’s handmade textiles. The founder’s early travels with her mother to meet traditional artisans inspired a mission: to support cottage industries and help skilled craftsmen sustain their trades in a way that’s both meaningful and profitable.
Each robe is thoughtfully made in regions where these traditional techniques have been passed down for generations. By purchasing one, you’re directly supporting the preservation of a beautiful craft and the livelihoods of artisans who make it possible.
Natural Fibers, Genuine Feel
All Natural Habitat robes are made using natural fibers, making them soft, breathable, and ideal for everyday comfort. From hand-printing to hand-stitched embroidery and appliqué, every detail is done by skilled hands—not machines. These small touches give each robe a unique personality.
Sustainably Stylish
In a world of fast fashion, Natural Habitat takes a slower, more conscious approach. Their goods are produced in ecologically friendly environments wherever possible, blending tradition with thoughtful sustainability. Over time, the line has evolved to offer robes that are still artisan-made but easier to care for. Many are now machine washable and available in a wider range of colors to suit modern tastes.
Why We Love Them at Our Amherst Gift Shop
At our Amherst gift shop, we believe in style that tells a story—and Natural Habitat robes do just that. They’re not only beautiful to wear, but they also carry the soul of craftsmanship, the warmth of tradition, and the comfort of knowing your purchase makes a positive impact.
