Biscotto Girit Robe

Pure linen in a warm caramel stripe on cream — biscotto, after the colour of the biscuit. Flat-woven rather than looped, so it drapes like a light coat instead of sitting on the shoulders like towelling.

Why 100% linen

• It regulates temperature. Breathable through summer, still warm enough after a bath in winter — one robe for every season.
• It does not stay damp. Linen releases water faster than any other robe fibre, so it dries on the hook rather than holding moisture.
• It improves with washing. Linen softens over years instead of going thin and matted the way terry does.
• It packs flat. Folds small enough for hand luggage, which is why it ends up on holiday more often than at home.

Fit

Cut unisex and relaxed, with a generous wrap, two front pockets and a tie belt. Sizes run S/M to XXL — the measurements above are of the garment, not the body, so allow for the overlap when it is wrapped. Size up if you are between sizes or prefer a longer, looser fit.

Care

Cold wash only, hang dry. No bleach and no fabric softener — softener coats linen fibres and reduces both absorbency and drape. Expect a little relaxed creasing; it is characteristic of linen and settles as the robe is worn.
