Hi Folks,
Last minute shopping help .... Dressing gown for men, where to find.
Been to the usual spots and three different M&S stores and the only one I could find was in Takashimaya at $240 ...
Thanks!

Yep Bath Robe ....... So I can walk in to any hotel and buy one can I?
You can get them for a tenner in the UK and I was hoping for the same here, but I could only find them in the shops with a Japanese angle.

BHG has. Don't remember the price - around S$50.
But it's ugly!

i bought mine from a hotel... ages ago. i honestly can't remember where - it might have been the marriott singapore or maybe marina mandarin oriental.
i bought it when i stayed there in a club room. i don't think you can walk in to the hotel gift shop and get one but no harm trying...
edit: if i find it, do you want it?!

Could try at M+S. Or order online from somewhere like Macy's?

Managed to find one in everyones favourite 24hr shopping Emporium.
Not sure of the quality but it looked OK.
Was surprised M&S didnt do , but will take note of the BHG recommend for next time.
