One evening, sitting on a beach just as the Mosquito Hour began, I reached for the mosquito repellent and realized it was the same repellent I'd been using since I was a freckle-faced kid in the 1970s. I thought: Is this really the best we've got? Why are we still coating ourselves in this tacky, smelly buy spray?
In 5 decades, no one had created a lasting, odorless option that actually worked, didn't need to be sprayed on repeat and wasn't, well...gross.
So I did. The Getaway Kimono.
We use EPA-registered Insect Shield® technology protection built into a beautiful kimono-inspired wrap. This puts a proven repellent near your skin not on it and nothing to reapply as the effectiveness lasts up to 70 washes. You just pull it out, put it on and stay in the moment.
And the garment itself? That was just as intentional as the technology inside it.
A kimono-inspired wrap is endlessly versatile. Simply toss it over anything, style it a dozen different ways, wear it to the garden party or the beach or the farmers market or the outdoor wedding. It blends into your existing summer and travel wardrobe effortlessly. Better than that, it elevates it.
Because the whole point was that you should never look like you dressed for mosquitoes. Not like a screen house. Not like you are going on safari. Not like you are going into battle.
Just something feminine, effortless, and genuinely beautiful that happens to be the most effective mosquito protection you've ever worn.
Fifty years overdue. Worth the wait.
