More and more of us seek comfort in every situation. At home, the cotton gauze bathrobe is revolutionizing household textiles.

Often underestimated, the bathrobe is a practical accessory for daily use. Want to recreate that cozy hotel feeling while staying at home? Discover the secrets of the cotton gauze bathrobe, maintenance tips, and its many advantages over traditional fabrics.

Cotton Gauze: A Textile with Remarkable Properties

Cotton gauze is a relatively new fabric increasingly seen in household, bath, and even bedding textiles. It stands out from other fabrics thanks to its unique, airy honeycomb-like structure. Its weave creates tiny air pockets, giving it several benefits:

• Excellent breathability for better temperature regulation, day and night.
• Superior absorbency compared to traditional fabrics.
• Incredible softness that increases with each wash.
• Lightweight fibers that feel pleasant on the skin.

Cotton Gauze vs. Other Fabrics

Traditional bathrobes are often made from classic terry cloth or microfiber. While these fabrics are functional, they don't measure up to cotton gauze:

• Lightweight: Cotton gauze weighs only 120-180 g/m², compared to 350-450 g/m² for terry cloth bathrobes.
• Absorbency: It absorbs 30% more than a traditional terry bathrobe.
• Quick Drying: Its unique weave structure improves airflow, drying three times faster than terry cloth.
• Hygiene and Durability: Its breathability limits bacteria growth, unpleasant damp odors, and extends its lifespan.

The Reinvented Bathrobe for Everyday Comfort

We’re all familiar with the traditional bathrobe, but have you tried the cotton gauze bathrobe? By combining tradition with innovation, we offer a bathrobe that adapts to all situations.

After Showering or Exercising

A bathrobe is more than just a bathroom accessory; it's a versatile companion after a shower or bath. Its waffle texture absorbs moisture quickly without sacrificing lightness, leaving your skin feeling incredible. Unlike the heaviness of traditional terry cloth robes, our cotton gauze bathrobe feels weightless.

It's also perfect after a workout. During recovery, it quickly dries you off and prevents dampness from settling in.

As Loungewear

The bathrobe is ideal for cozy moments in your bedroom. The soft fabric is perfect for relaxing while going about your activities. Its kimono cut and waist tie make it an elegant, easy-to-wear piece that pairs well with casual loungewear or linen pants.

For even cozier moments in bed or on the couch, the kimono bathrobe is your best companion. Its lightness and softness envelop you in comfort. It’s also a great evening cover-up, especially when paired with a linen nightdress during summer. Its thermoregulating properties ensure cool nights, even in warmer weather.

An Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Choice

Like linen, cotton gauze is an excellent choice for you and the planet. If sustainability matters to you, this fabric won’t disappoint!

Exceptional Durability of Cotton

Cotton gauze is a honeycomb-like fiber that becomes stronger with each wash. Despite its delicate feel, it is remarkably sturdy. Over time, the weave tightens naturally, enhancing the garment's durability and texture.

Reduced Environmental Impact

The cotton used in our bathrobes comes from our partner workshops in Portugal. All our products are locally made and dyed using a piece-dyeing method for greater durability and a superior finish. This reduces the need to frequently replace your kimono bathrobe, promoting more responsible consumption.

Linenshed's Carbon Neutrality

All our products are designed and made in Portugal, in collaboration with our partner workshops. Whether made from linen or cotton, we work exclusively with high-quality, durable fibers. Moreover, we ensure carbon neutrality by purchasing carbon capture credits that offset approximately one ton of CO₂ emissions per credit.

How to Choose Your Cotton Gauze Bathrobe

A kimono-style bathrobe is a high-quality piece, so consider these criteria to make the right choice:

Quality of the Weave

Always check the weave quality and seam finishes. Our bathrobes are made with fine, tightly woven threads to ensure durability and everyday comfort.

Cut and Style

Opt for a model that suits your lifestyle and body shape:

• The kimono cut adds elegance, making it easy to wear around the house.
• Mid-calf length offers versatility and freedom of movement during the day.
• A hood provides extra comfort after a shower or bath but remains flexible enough to stay out of the way when not needed.
• Deep pockets make it practical for everyday use.
• A cotton belt cinches the waist beautifully for added comfort.

The Linenshed Details That Make the Difference

• Classic and timeless kimono design
• Front pockets
• Adjustable long sleeves
• Deep hood
• Comfortable collar
• Waist tie for better fit
• Piece-dyeing process for durability

Our kimono cotton gauze bathrobe is available in four colors (white, beige, gray, and terracotta) and two sizes (S/M and L/XL). Its versatile design suits the entire family and is available in our Men’s and Women’s collections, but it can also fit children.

Caring for Your Cotton Gauze Bathrobe

Cotton gauze strengthens over time, but proper care is essential to maintain its properties.

First Use

We recommend washing your bathrobe before wearing it for the first time to activate the fabric's absorbency and remove any manufacturing residues. Note that during the first 3-4 uses and washes, the fabric may shed some fibers due to its natural airy texture.

Regular Washing

• Wash regularly to preserve the fibers.
• Use low temperatures, not exceeding 40°C.
• Opt for a delicate cycle with a spin speed of no more than 800 RPM.
• Avoid fabric softeners, which can weigh down the bathrobe and reduce absorbency.

Drying

• Air-dry whenever possible, avoiding direct sunlight.
• For tumble drying, choose a delicate, low-temperature cycle for 20-30 minutes to fluff the fabric.
• Avoid ironing; the charm of cotton gauze lies in its waffled texture.

Proper Storage

Store your bathrobe in a dry, airy place when not in use. Cotton gauze thrives in well-ventilated environments and dislikes humidity.

With its unique blend of comfort, functionality, and sustainability, the Linenshed cotton gauze bathrobe is a timeless addition to your home.
