What is bamboo bast fibre?

Bamboo bast fibre is produced by mechanically separating usable fibres from the bamboo plant rather than dissolving and regenerating the bamboo into viscose. This helps retain more of the fibre’s natural character, giving the fabric a distinctive, lightly textured feel.

How does bamboo bast fibre feel compared with bamboo viscose?

Bamboo bast fibre has a more natural, textured hand feel than the silky-smooth finish commonly associated with bamboo viscose. It feels substantial and breathable, and the fabric can continue to soften with regular wear and washing.

The robe is made with a substantial 650 GSM fabric, giving it a dense, luxurious feel and comfortable drape. It is intentionally more substantial than a lightweight robe while remaining breathable for comfortable lounging and post-shower wear.

What is the robe made from?

The robe is made from 70% bamboo bast fibre and 30% cotton and linen, combining the natural character of bamboo bast fibre with added comfort, structure and durability.

Is the robe absorbent enough to wear after a shower?

Yes. The dense 650 GSM fabric is designed to absorb moisture while providing comfortable coverage, making it well suited for wearing after a shower or bath.

Is this robe suitable for both men and women?

Yes. The robe has a relaxed, unisex design with a shawl collar, adjustable waist tie and generous pockets, making it suitable for both women and men.

Which size should I choose?

As a general guide, S/M is recommended for heights of approximately 160–175 cm and weights of 56–75 kg, while L/XL is recommended for heights of approximately 172–192 cm and weights of 68–89 kg. If you prefer a roomier fit, consider choosing the larger size.

Will the bamboo bast fabric become softer over time?

Yes. Like many natural-fibre textiles, bamboo bast fibre can soften and develop more character with regular wear and washing while retaining its naturally textured feel.

How is this robe different from Lovalin’s bamboo viscose cotton robes?

This robe is designed for customers who prefer a more natural, substantial and lightly textured fabric. Bamboo viscose typically has a smoother, silkier feel, while mechanically processed bamboo bast fibre retains more of its natural fibrous character.

Luxury Comfort, Naturally Textured

Not all bamboo fabrics are made the same.

Our Natural Bamboo Bast Fibre Bath Robe is crafted with 70% bamboo bast fibre and a substantial 650 GSM construction, creating a dense, luxurious robe with a reassuring sense of quality and substance.

Unlike the regenerated viscose process commonly used for bamboo fabrics, the bamboo bast fibre in this robe is mechanically processed to retain more of its natural fibrous character.

The result is a robe with a distinctive, naturally textured hand feel — breathable, absorbent and comfortably substantial.

Blended with cotton and linen for added comfort, structure and durability, it is designed for slow mornings, post-shower relaxation and quiet evenings at home.

What Makes Bamboo Bast Fibre Different?

Bamboo bast fibre is produced by mechanically separating usable fibres from the bamboo plant rather than dissolving and regenerating the raw material into viscose.

This helps retain more of the fibre’s natural character, resulting in a fabric with a more organic, lightly textured feel rather than the silky-smooth finish commonly associated with bamboo viscose.

For those who appreciate the texture, substance and character of natural-fibre textiles, this robe offers a distinctly different bamboo experience.

Substantial 650 GSM Construction

At 650 GSM, this robe has a notably substantial construction, giving the fabric a dense, luxurious drape and a reassuring sense of quality.

The generous fabric weight creates an enveloping feel while providing the absorbency expected from a premium bath robe.

It is designed to feel substantial and comforting without relying on the ultra-smooth finish commonly associated with regenerated bamboo fabrics.

Naturally Textured by Design

This robe is intentionally different from silky bamboo viscose fabrics.

Expect a soft yet naturally textured hand feel that reflects the character of bamboo bast fibre.

Like many natural-fibre textiles, the fabric will continue to develop its character and soften further with regular wear and washing.

Designed for Everyday Luxury

Wrap up after a morning shower, enjoy a slow weekend breakfast, or settle in at the end of the day.

With its relaxed silhouette, shawl collar, generous pockets and adjustable waist tie, this robe is designed to bring a sense of natural luxury to everyday rituals.

"I bought this bed sheet set because I was looking for a lightweight and soft bedding option for the summer. I was attracted by the sage green color and the good price. I was not disappointed when I received the product. The bed sheet set came in a nice green bag. The sheets were very soft and smooth to the touch, and the color was exactly as shown in the picture."

Really love this robe

Really love this robe. The fabric feels soft but also has a nice natural texture, which makes it feel quite different from a typical silky bamboo robe. It’s lightweight, breathable and comfortable without feeling flimsy. The relaxed fit is great for mornings at home, and it washes well too. Simple, natural and feels very well made.

I wanted something to wear

I wanted something to wear when I get out of the bath, but most robes are too thin for me. It's always hot and humid where I live so this is the perfect solution.

Very good quality robe! it

Very good quality robe! it is a little heavier than my cotton robe but feels more organic.
