Why organic? Organic cotton makes for some of the most comfy, soft fabric you can find. And that is precisely what you want to be wearing when lounging. Comfort is the key, and an organic cotton robe has the comfort factor covered, not to mention organic anything is better for our precious planet. Even more comfortable than cotton (some swear by) is bamboo, which is also often made into some of the most lux robes that will ever adorn your skin.
Robes have been worn for centuries. And not just in ancient Rome. In ancient China, it was all about silk (and still is). Silk is great, but cotton is breathable, and just as soft and absorbent. Imagine coming out of a nice hot bath or steam room and wrapping yourself in an amazingly comfortable organic cotton robe. Silk is not so great for that, now is it?
In addition to being breathable, fabrics such as cotton are durable, which makes them easy to walk around the house in and serve a variety of needs. Bamboo robes serve as a great middle ground, providing light coverage, but with breathability and absolute lux comfort.
There truly are a ton of organic robes available these days to choose from in terms of both style and functionality. Robe styles can range from lightweight Kimono wraps to calf-length unisex. Coyuchi, which is one of our most favorite organic robe brands, offers everything from the classic spa waffle robe in organic cotton, to robes lined on the outside with organic linen herringbone and lined inside with highly absorbent micro loop Terry cloth. And for the ultimate in luxury, Coyuchi’s AirWeight robe is a light weight version of loomed organic cotton that feels like your being hugged by a cloud. I mean, who doesn’t want to be hugged by a cloud?!
