Gocek Kimono Robe

A kimono-cut robe in handwoven cotton and linen: a cream ground crossed by fine red, blue and teal pinstripes, with wide sleeves and a tie belt. The kimono shape makes it read as a garment rather than as bathroom kit — it is as likely to be worn over clothes as after a shower.

Why a peshtemal kimono

• Light on the shoulders. Flat-woven cloth rather than towelling, so it does not turn heavy when damp.
• Dries quickly. Back on the hook and dry before the next use rather than holding moisture all day.
• Wide sleeves, easy wrap. The kimono cut moves more freely than a fitted robe and layers over what you are already wearing.
• Travels flat. Folds small enough for hand luggage.

Fit

Cut unisex and relaxed with wide kimono sleeves and a tie belt. Sizes run S/M to XXL — the measurements above are of the garment, not the body, so allow for the overlap when it is wrapped. Size up for a longer, looser drape.

Care

Cold wash only, hang dry. No bleach and no fabric softener — softener coats cotton and linen and dulls the drape. Wash with like colours for the first couple of cycles so the coloured stripes stay clean against the cream.
