Chapter VIII · Robes and wraps
BABEYOND Satin Kimono Robe
A long satin kimono with lace trim in two generous sizes. A gift that presumes nothing.
- Premium Materials
- Inclusive Fit
A robe is the most giftable item in this chapter because it asks nothing of the recipient. Silk is the premium fabric; satin-weave polyester is the accessible alternative and behaves similarly.
Who may find it useful
- · Anyone buying a first gift in this category
- · People who want extended sizing with the same fabric quality
Who may prefer another category
- · People who want an easy-care fabric, who may prefer a satin-weave polyester
BABEYOND's kimono is polyester satin rather than silk, which keeps the price accessible and the care simple. It comes in one size and a plus size with the measurements listed on the page.

Materials and construction
Check the fibre content: silk, silk blend or polyester satin. Each is a legitimate choice with different care needs.
Measurements
Wrap robes are forgiving, but check the length and sleeve length on the chart.
Controls and power
Not applicable.
Cleaning and storage
Silk usually wants a cold hand wash or dry cleaning; follow the care label.
Compatibility notes
Keep oils and silicone lubricants away from silk.
Manufacturer instructions
Follow the manufacturer’s current instructions for use, cleaning, charging and storage. Where anything on this page differs from the manufacturer’s documentation, the manufacturer’s documentation takes precedence.
