Flannel Robe Fireside Red Plaid
Pickup available at High Street (Downtown Edmonton)
Usually ready in 2-4 days
The red version of the dressing gown that earns the word. Same hand-guided floral embroidery on the lapels as the Saratoga, same full-length format and interior tie — but in April Cornell's deep red yarn-dyed cotton check, the Fireside Robe has a different energy entirely. Warmer, more celebratory, the kind of robe that looks like it belongs in a scene involving a fireplace and something good to drink. The embroidery on the lapels is worked by hand, which gives each piece a slightly individual quality you can see up close. It's the detail that makes the difference between a cotton robe and a proper dressing gown.
Sash belt with interior ties so it stays closed without relying on the sash. Side seam pockets. 52" long on a 5'8" model in a Small. Limited stock — this arrived in small quantities and won't be replenished when it sells through. April Cornell has been making pieces like this since 1972.

Good to Know
What does hand-guided embroidery mean?
The floral embroidery on the lapels is guided by hand during production rather than being fully automated — there's a human element in the placement and execution that gives each piece a slightly individual quality. It's the kind of detail that's easy to overlook in a product shot and impossible to overlook in person.
How is this different from the Saratoga Robe?
Same price, same format, same hand-guided embroidery and interior tie. Different fabric and mood. The Saratoga is brushed cotton plaid in deep blue-green — cooler, more classic, heirloom-tailored. The Fireside is yarn-dyed cotton check in deep red — warmer, more celebratory, the one that reads as festive without being limited to a single season. Both full-length, both $170, both hang to dry.
Does this pair with the Fireside Nightgown?
Yes — the Fireside Red Plaid Nightgown ($145) is the same yarn-dyed cotton check and designed to be worn together. Both available at Cloud Nine while stock lasts.
Good gift?
At $170 with hand embroidery, it's one of the most considered gifts we carry — the red makes it feel festive and immediately special, and the full-length format with embroidered lapels makes it look like something from a boutique in France rather than a standard robe. Strong for significant milestone gifts, holiday giving, and anyone who appreciates beautiful craft.
Care?
Machine wash cold separately on a gentle cycle, hang to dry. Cold washing keeps the red saturated and the yarn-dye from fading — the gentle cycle protects the embroidery threads and the self-fabric belt over time.
