The robe combines the soft and comfortable feel of a traditional bathrobe with the sophisticated styling of a traditional safari jacket. The Winnifred Beach Sport-Utility Bathrobe is tan in color and has four pockets, two breast pockets and two side pockets. The robe was designed by Graham Retzik, a movie marketing executive by day and budding bathrobe designer by night. Retzik was inspired to create the robe after seeing a German man sport his bathrobe onto Winnifred Beach, Jamaica. Retzik is currently seeking funding through [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k-25) to get the robe created.
