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.

Why it may appeal

  • · Presumes nothing
  • · Extended sizing common
  • · Travels well

Points to consider

  • · Silk is delicate to care for
  • · Colour and weight are hard to judge from photographs

Questions to check before purchasing
