Affordable Luxury
A silk robe may surprise you with its affordability. It's well worth investing a few more dollars, given their enduring softness and wear. Advantages include:
- Does not catch or bind against other fabrics
- Wicks moisture away from skin
- Dries quickly
- Packs easily and compactly for travel
Caring for Silk Robes
Many silk bathrobes are machine-washable. Check fabric content for 100% silk fabric, as some robes may be made from a silk blend. Synthetic silk bathrobes are made from polyester or nylon. Charmeuse, a satin weave, is a popular silk fabric for robes. Shantung and dupioni have a more robust texture. Raw or sand-washed silk have pebbly textures. Woven satin provides a good robe texture considered superior to knit satin.
Some Extra Tips
- Store your silk robes away from direct sunlight for lasting enjoyment.
- Protect your robe from alcohol-based products, like fragrances or hair styling products, to prevent stain damage.
- Follow care instructions to prolong the life of your bathrobe.
Silk accepts dyes well, so they are available in a wide array of colors, from pastels to brights. You're sure to find several to delight your eyes.
