Lightweight Waffle Quick Dry Bathrobe

This Bathrobe from Velleora Home Decor is woven in waffle rather than towelling, which changes how it behaves: it is far lighter, it dries in a fraction of the time, and it does not stay damp on a hook all day.

That makes it the robe for a warm climate, a summer morning or a small flat with no airing space, where a heavy towelling robe never quite dries between uses and eventually smells. Waffle also packs down small enough for a suitcase or a spa bag.

Eight size and colour options are offered in a retro-styled cut with a shawl collar and belt. The open weave still absorbs well despite the light weight. Machine wash warm and hang to dry; waffle needs no tumble drying and will soften with each wash. Do not use fabric softener, which coats the weave and reduces absorbency.
