Nothing beats wrapping up in a luxurious hotel quality robe after stepping out of a steaming shower or tub, spending a lazy day cocooning in a thick and cozy robe, or stepping into a light and breathable robe to get ready for your day or to go out in the evening.
down etc’s Guide to Picking the Right Robe
To select a robe or robes—sometimes, more than one is required— we recommend you consider the fabric, fit, and ease of care. Your choice among a variety of options depends upon your style and how you plan to wear your robe to elevate your daily routine.
1. A robe instead of a towel
Do you slip into your robe in lieu of a towel upon stepping out of the tub or shower? In that case, you’ll want something that is soft on the outside and absorbent on the inside like one of our taurus mountain robes. Crafted in our proprietary absorb8™ textile technology, these delicious robes are cotton terry on the inside and plush polyester on the outside. Choose from our hotel white or white with lilac or dark grey trim, with or without hoods.
2. A robe to lounge
Do you wear a robe while you are getting ready to go out or don a robe to lounge around the house? In that case, you might choose our pyrenees diamond jacquard shawl collar robe. Made of soft-knitted poly/cotton, the small diamond jacquard pattern is elegant and original. A delicate piping trim edges the shawl collar for a finished look and feel. As one size fits all, it has double belt loops to adjust the waist height and two front pockets.
3. A robe to cuddle
Do you prefer a robe that is simply incredibly soft? Our mt. kilimanjaro ribbed cotton velour robe is 100% combed cotton, ribbed velour with a shawl collar, double belt loops to adjust the waist height, and two front pockets.
4. A robe for the pool or beach
If you’re looking for a robe to take outside or to the beach, our mt. mckinley waffle robe has the right look and feel. A spa classic, it is made with woven poly/cotton waffle fabric, so it feels light and airy. This robe has two front pockets and double belt loops to be adjustable to your height. It's carefree to wash and dry.
Our robes come in a one-size-fits-all. For that reason, they are manufactured with double belt loops and roll up sleeves to allow an adjustable fit. Front pockets provide a place for your hands or to carry your necessities on those days when your robe never comes off.
5. A robe as a gift
If you’re looking for the perfect gift to give someone who needs to be pampered—your mom, wife, or best friend—give them the gift of a spa day at home. Create a bundle featuring one of our robes, a pair or two or our hotel-quality slippers, an eye mask, and a soothing candle.
A bathrobe bundle is the perfect gift for the bride or the bridal party to be worn while getting ready for the ceremony. It will make the “it” statement in “getting ready” photos and is sure to be an item the bridal party will cherish for years to come.
6. A robe for guests
Providing a bed and a bathroom for guests is enough to keep them satisfied, but you can really wow them and show how much you care by going the extra mile when it comes to bed and bath amenities. Leave a delicious robe freshly folded on the bed or vanity so they know it’s meant for them. You can also set a couple of pairs of hotel-quality slippers on a turn down mat next to the bed, add a vase of fresh-cut flowers to make them smile, or put out aromatherapy candles to turn your guest room into a relaxing retreat. Add a basket with water bottles, snacks, and a couple of delicious cookies and your guests will think they're in heaven.
As for the bathroom, you've probably already got standard toiletries. Think about adding a special treat for your guests to use and then take home like the opal wash makeup remover washcloth. These deliciously soft black makeup towels also eliminate your guests’ worry about leaving makeup on your bath towels.
Whether you’re beginning your day or winding down, we highly recommend you do it in one of our mountains of robes.
