Premium bathrobes in Egyptian Giza 70 cotton

The high cost results from the rare quality of the raw material and the elaborate manufacturing process. Egyptian Giza 70 cotton is extremely rare; it grows only in the Nile Valley and accounts for just a fraction of global cotton production. Its extra-long fibres deliver unrivalled softness, durability and absorbency, making it considerably finer than standard cotton. Added to this is the manufacture by hand in Portugal: each robe is individually woven, sewn and finished. This combination of exclusive material and masterly craftsmanship makes the bathrobe a luxury product. Furthermore, with the right care our premium bathrobes last for many years; they retain their shape and fluffiness even with frequent washing, which makes them a valuable investment in long-term comfort.

Your bathrobe is delivered by the manufacturer already pre-washed and pre-shrunk. You can therefore wear it straight away without any fear of shrinkage. Nevertheless, we recommend washing the robe separately once before its first proper use. This activates the high-quality cotton fibres, allowing them to develop their full softness. After this first wash you will notice that the fabric becomes even fluffier and more absorbent. Thanks to the pre-wash, the robe naturally retains its optimal fit permanently.

The bathrobes are woven in northern Portugal using a special process that ensures exceptional quality. Unlike many standard bathrobes, the pile – the fluffy loops – is woven directly into the fabric rather than simply being stitched on afterwards. This three-dimensional weaving technique anchors the loops firmly between the warp and weft threads. The result is a particularly dense, voluminous terry fabric that feels luxuriously soft while also being highly hard-wearing. Thanks to this weaving artistry the robe stays dimensionally stable and fluffy, even with daily use – a hallmark of quality from the traditional manufacturer Abyss & Habidecor since 1978.

ELS cotton denotes cotton with extra-long staple fibres, in other words particularly long individual fibres. In Giza cotton these fibres, at 30,45 mm in length, are considerably longer than in ordinary cotton, which measures around 25 mm. Longer fibres can be spun into finer yet stronger yarn, as fewer fibre ends protrude. In concrete terms this means: a bathrobe made from ELS cotton feels softer and smoother and is more tear-resistant, produces less lint and lasts longer than a comparable product made from short-staple cotton. Giza 70 is one such extra-long staple cotton, which is why its products are regarded as the crème de la crème of terry goods.

So that your bathrobe stays soft and beautiful for many years, there are a few points to bear in mind when caring for it: wash the robe at 40 °C on a gentle cycle; up to 60 °C is also possible if required. Use a mild detergent for delicates, ideally free of enzymes, and be sure to avoid fabric softener. Fabric softener would leave a film on the fibres and reduce the natural absorbency. Wash light, dark and white colours separately to avoid discolouration. Take care not to overload the washing machine and wash items with hook-and-loop fastenings or zips separately so that the towelling loops are not damaged. You can dry the bathrobe in the air or in the tumble dryer at a low temperature on a gentle programme. It is best to take it out while still slightly damp and allow it to finish drying, as this keeps the fabric soft and dimensionally stable. In this way your bathrobe will retain its fluffy texture, vibrant colour and perfect fit for a long time.

Yes, high-quality cotton terry products such as these often only reach their full fluffiness after a few washes. Your bathrobe is already pre-washed, but the first one or two wash cycles allow the cotton fibres to open up fully and gain volume. Many customers find that the robe becomes even softer and more cuddly after washing it several times. It is important not to use fabric softener, as the cotton needs to breathe in order to develop its full loft, or fibre pile. Once the fabric has reached its optimum, it retains this heavenly softness for years; thanks to the robust extra-long fibres and the high-quality workmanship, the quality remains perceptible over the long term.

Extremely durable. The combination of first-class material and careful manufacture gives these bathrobes an exceptional service life. The extra-long Giza fibres are naturally very tear-resistant and robust. In addition, the robes are woven with double-twisted yarns and reinforced with binding along the edges. This means no frayed hems, no linting and no distortion, even after years of use. Many cheaper bathrobes wear out after only a short time, whereas a premium bathrobe made from Giza cotton keeps its shape, colour and softness even with frequent washing. With appropriate care, you will enjoy this robe for many years without any noticeable decline in quality. This longevity ultimately also puts the higher purchase price into perspective, as the robe lasts far longer than a standard product.

The difference lies above all in the material and the manufacture. Our luxury bathrobes are made from genuine Egyptian Giza 70 cotton, whereas ordinary bathrobes are often made from plain cotton or microfibre. Giza cotton has longer, finer fibres, which produce a softer, denser and at the same time more durable fabric. By comparison, a standard bathrobe often feels coarser and may lose its fluffiness or develop lint over time. Premium bathrobes are also woven in an elaborate handcrafted process, for example with a woven-in pile, and finished individually rather than mass-produced. Details such as pre-washing, quality inspection of every seam and refined packaging likewise set our bathrobes apart from the average. In short: a luxury bathrobe offers a considerably greater degree of comfort, aesthetic appeal and durability that is simply not found in conventional products.

Yes, in many cases this is possible. As each of our bathrobes is produced to order as a one-off piece, we can accommodate special requests by arrangement. Special sizes or particular colour requests, for example, can be realised, so that your bathrobe matches your ideas and your bathroom perfectly. Simply tell us what you have in mind; our team will be glad to advise you on what is feasible.

A premium bathrobe made from Giza cotton is worthwhile for anyone who would like to treat themselves to something special every day. If you place great value on feeling good after bathing, perhaps have sensitive skin, or wish to make your private wellness time at home more considered and more refined, you will clearly notice the difference. People who put quality before quantity in particular derive lasting pleasure from such a product: every day, a touch of luxury and comfort surrounds you. A premium bathrobe also makes an excellent gift; the outstanding quality is immediately apparent and will accompany and delight the recipient for years to come. In a world full of mass-produced goods, this bathrobe is a purchase for connoisseurs who are looking for the very best.
