What is a Kimono and how is it different from a Bathrobe?

 

Kimono literally translates to “a thing to wear” or “a thing to put on”.

Kimono robes are typically made of lightweight and breathable fabrics. Traditionally made from one T-shape piece of fabric which minimises waste.

Kimonos are worn in a variety of ways from a dressing gown to a fashion piece. They are a thing of beauty to be admired.

Our kimonos envelop you in comfort as everyday loungewear or outerwear made with lightweight breathable fabrics. They are also luxurious and elegant, creating a beautiful silhouette.

How is a kimono different to a bathrobe?

Bathrobes, also known as dressing gowns, were traditionally made of terry cloth or cotton, an absorbent fabric, worn after bathing. Typically worn indoors and have narrow sleeves in style. They are a functional product. Dressing gowns, similar to bath robes in design, are now seen in a variety of styles and fabrics and can look more beautiful in design, however do not typically offer the versatility of being worn outdoors.

In contrast, the Kimono can be worn indoors for comfort or outdoors as a statement piece. It is considered to be a traditional and iconic garment, which can increase its value and price.

We hope that you will enjoy the versatility of our kimonos enjoying them at home in comfort or outdoors in style.
